Tastes

Tasted watered down. Maybe the bar I was at was evil. Was fine. Easy on the palette with no burn. Light and smooth. But not much flavor on this one for me.

Boring but good for drinking at the bar that has a crappy selection. Impress your beer drinking friends if you're a cheap skate. Real whiskey drinkers will see right through your charade, but hop heads will think you're high class.

The pears. Oh, the pears. Like biting into a juicy ripe pear and then immediately sniffing a handful of pear blossoms drizzled lightly with honey. Finishes like a Pinot Gris while sitting in a pear bubble bath.

Ahhhh. Lovely. Hints of caramel, but not too sweet. Then a big wallop of classic bourbon pluminess on the finish, with a nice warm linger. Like relaxing in an Adirondack chair overlooking the salty bay on a humid late summer evening. Just devine.

A terrific blend of smoky and sweet. Exactly what I look for in a scotch. Not too smoky and not too sweet. Has a nice smokehouse almond flavor that goes down smooth and doesn't linger with salt or tannin. A splash of water or ice to bring forth more sweet and soften the smoked peet--if that's your style. A nice well-rounded, can't-go-wrong dram.

Well-rounded scotch that hits all the right notes to be emanately popular. Warm heat on the throat, medium linger, slightly salty with light smoked peet. If jack Daniels is the Budweiser of whiskey, this would be the Sam Adams.

Real smooth. Low heat. Faint apple tartness with a shallow linger. Surprisingly easy drinking. Disappears fast.

Orange with subtle hints of leather. Forward heat with a smooth warming linger. Very subtle vanilla on the nose. We'll balanced and enjoyable.
