Tastes

Fruity and powerful, strong almost velvety sweetness. Thick and rich, powerful and delicious. Almost perfect.

Rich, musky, complex, powerful. Everything you want in a single cask. Very nice.

Super powerful wood flavor , like licking the inside of a barrel. The tingle of the tail makes it taste minty, or some sort of sparkly herb. Interesting, but not my style.

Caramel sweetness rather than the juicy. Barley is there too, tastes like release 49 but with smooth caramel replacing the juicy fruit. Blends a but better, I definitely prefer it.

Heavenly caramel smell, tastes like fruit though, like berry maybe? It's thinner bodied but juicy, mouthwatering before the kick. Kind of a cool mouthfeel.

Tastes like someone left a bottle of jim beam to oxidize for a while. Acetone and burn, sweetness tastes artificial. Terrible, but two stars for not being Canadian.

Heavy peat on the tongue like you'd expect, but with a sweet fruit counter to it, almost tangy. Like lemon or something citrus. It's more juicy than sour, and a super weird contrast to the peat. Pretty light body, very different from your usual deep smoky complexity from islay scotches. The more I drink it the more the lemon shines brighter than the peat. Definitely not my favorite, but quite unique.

Sweet aroma, grain, sugar, faint peat. Interesting flavors on the tongue, the dame grain and peat which is excellent, but with some sort of weird undercurrent that tastes green. Like oak, but young oak. Not unenjoyable, but a little strange for me

Aroma is tannin heavy and dry. Flavor is sharp and powerful, the tannin bitter of the wine barrel taking the front seat. Wave of flavor, riding what id describe as the default stranahan's Whiskey base, just a solid American single malt kind of flavor. Again, wish it was richer, but the power of the flavor is quite enjoyable. You don't always get well done bitter flavors in whiskey either, points for that.

Light sugar came sweet notes on top of barley aroma. Flavor shows the rum cask finish well, sweet and light. Some faint vanilla and malt flavors, balanced ok but a little thin. Wish there was more richness to carry the flavors better. Still enjoyable. Ps: enjoyed it more over time
