This came in an advent calendar. I’m a fan of the peat. This is pretty Smokey on the nose which is right up my alley. This is a little more astringent that the lag16 on the palette. It takes a little to hit the ‘sweet’ spot. All in all great dram with a lot of flavor.

This was included in my advent calendar for 2020. This is exactly as advertised. It’s Smokey on the nose which is right up my alley. Sweet punch on the palette. Moderate, smokey finish.

I got this with an advent calendar. Smokey grapefruit nose. Nice, sweet palette. A little bitter, astringent finish. Lots of oak.

This is my 2nd time tasting this. If you like oak, this is for you. It’s on the nose, the palette and the finish.

I received this sample as a part of a whiskey advent calendar. Dusty, Smokey nose. The palette isn’t as Smokey. It’s dry and sweet. The finish is a little sweet, moderately long and astringent.

I received this as a tasting in a whiskey advent calendar. The nose struck me as both peaty and citrus peel. I lose most of the Smokey peaty nose right away on the palette. The finish is long and oaky.

I received this as a part of the whiskey advent calendar. You’ll find Peat smoke on the nose. Tart and Smokey on the palette. Nice long finish that settles at the back of your throat and the top of your mouth.

Definitely a single malt on the nose. Nice and grassy. Sweet palette. The finish is longer than I would have expected from 40% abv. Overall an easy dram. Not very complex.

So this was my #3 in a whiskey advent calendar. If you’ve ever had the Sunkist gummy candies (which are amazing), then you’ll recognize the citrus nose here. I did not pick up much peat. The palette Is full of fruit and gets sweeter in the nice, long finish. I really enjoyed this.
