Tastes

Herbal peated aroma, interesting one that I can't at all place. Medicinal. Bright and mellow for a Laphroaig, same medicinal herb flavor that curves into green wood on the tail. Great body and richness, bright, and super enjoyable up until the very end of the tail. If not for that green finish it would be magnificent.

Strong, rich, fiery, honestly can't tell much of a difference between the regular small batch but that expression is fantastic so...no issues here.

Standard Speyside aroma, rich fruit sweetness and wood on the nose. Flavor is fruit forward, peach and grape with some gentle spice underneath and showing up more on the tail. Richer than expected, tastes kind of typical but on the well done end of typical. Nothing exciting, but above average.

Sweet and medium rich, tastes like above average Speyside. Apple and grape fruit flavors dominate, good body for balance. If you like sweet Speyside it's a good choice.

Super strong barley aroma, sweet and malty. Flavor matches the aroma well. Spicy and strong, rich and sweet underneath. Excellent blend. Richness carries the blend of sweet and spice into a nice long tail. Fantastic.

Sweet malty aroma, perfectly blended. Enjoyable. Initial hit is light and thin, but then all the flavor rushes in on the tail. Bright sparkling spice riding a good alcohol burn. Cane sugar sweetness riding a deep wood flavor before the spice kicks in. After the tail is a lingering sharp sweetness, almost tequila like but way more enjoyable. Much longer and better tail than expected from the medium body. Interesting journey.

Pear notes on the nose, super strong. Light flavor, pretty light compared to their Canadian ones. Sweet, but well blended flavors. Butterscotch in with the pair, medium light body but longer tail than you'd expect. Lingering spice, very subtle.

Strong sherry aroma sweetness on the nose. Flavor is complex and interesting, caramel and sherry, richer than the other two. Same spice as the other two, but the complexity is best here. Spice tail is a little much, but not unpleasant. Great blend, one of the better Canadians I've had.

Faint aroma, hint of the congac. Canadian spice, but more mellow. Still tons of sharp flavor (in a good way) but you can taste the sweetness of the cognac blending with it. An improvement on the red label.

Smell is mellow, but flavor is fiery. High rye flavor, super spicy. Little body, but good fire. Spice lingers for a while, pretty nice. Especially compared to Canadians I've tried.
