Tastes

Heavy caramel aroma, sweet and syrupy. Maybe some subtle wine tannins too. Caramel is there on the tongue, but with some grape and citrus blended in perfectly. Lemon is more noticable on the tail. Excellent balance, the proof and acidity might be a little intense together though. Tail comes off a little harsh, but still well done.

Oak and faint caramel aroma. Subtle. Flavor is also rather subtle, medium-light richness with some nice oak and sweetness. Sweet flavor is distinct, but not too strong. Caramel underneath, oak and spice on top. Some more body would've done it some good. Spice and alcohol burn stick around for a tail but there isn't much there to carry it.

Sharp Green aroma, not Irish grassy but like fresh cut lawn grass. Actually pretty bad. Flavor is also green, acetone, sharp alcohol hit. Some young wood buried in there, better than Canadian, but still truly unenjoyable.

Dark barley flavors, heavy vanilla.

Dark malty aroma. Super strong vanilla flavor, rich but a little sickly sweet. Heavy barley, some wood.

Fantastic smell, super grain forward. Explosion of flavor, tastes a lot like beer. Points for originality.

Deep and musty aroma. Corn and vanilla flavor, medium body with some yeasty or hoppy flavors. Interesting combo, a little sharp. Bear gulch does it a touch better.

Molasses and heaven on the nose. Smells fantastic. Flavor is deep peat, with an underlying sweetness. Oily, rich, mild spice, but just perfect briny smoke from the Ardbeg finish. Magnificent. Almost a little too sweet and rich to drink for too long.

All rye on the nose. Super grain forward, very flavorful but pretty much just the one overpowering flavor. Go for the cask strength one instead of you want more balance and depth.

Deep beautiful spicy smell. Rye hit is mild, medium rich and incredibly well balanced. Some sweetness before alcohol kick at the end. One of the better ryes I've had.
