From a sticky sweet nose filled with cinnamon, vanilla, toffee, and dried apricots. This bourbon brings out noticable vanilla and oak on the palate. The spice is expanded from the nose- encompassing fennel, all spice, clove, and cinnamon on the palate. The sweetness has increased depth from the vanilla and toffee of the nose, rounding out with creme brulee, butterscotch, and barley sugar. The finish is lengthy and complicated, lingering well after the swallow with a delightful warming effect and gentle white pepper spicing up at the end.

From a light and delicate whisky base, the olorosso finish on the Dalwhinnie Distillers edition definitely beefs up the whisky. Increases in characters of dried fruits- in the form of raisins, dried apricots, and light prunes- and baking spices- cinnamon, all spice, and cloves. The body of this whisky is noticeably heavier than the core range Dalwhinnie 15, and is chewier and more rounded. This is a great example of finishing from the classic malts stable of Diageo.

This light honeyed whisky was my first introduction to single malt, and it's hints of toffee, delicate cinnamon, and light pear notes lead to a whiff of heather in the finish. Easy drinking, light, and fun.

Revival I, a brilliant use of rum casks has given this gem of a 15 year old whiskey lovely tropical fruit highlights that bounce off a solid and well rounded base. Hints of papaya and mango intermingle with coconut and condensed milk to build up to a lengthy finish of mixed peel and wisps of smoke.

Finishing in French fortified wine casks lends the 3rd of the Revival whiskies from Teeling has leant this otherwise tame whisky a breadth and scope that fills your palate with rich dried fruits. Sweetness of honey on the nose is wrapped with a delicate dark chocolate hint of bitterness. Hazelnut notes add a creaminess and body that lends the caramelised pineapple mid notes, that slowly trend into something soft and lingering.
