Decadent aroma, light and sweet with wine notes on top of the vanilla and caramel. The flavors mostly hit on the tail, avalanche of tannin and sherry sweetness. One of those cool crescendo whiskies. Some oak and lighter spice. You don't often get this kind of power and flavor from something this age, its fantastic.Woodinville Whiskey Co.

Flavors are a wonderful balanced blend of sweetness and wood and spice. A little sugar cane, a little stone fruit. So much wood on the tail its almost bitter, approaching herbal and medicinal. Good richness, its like the goldilocks for flavors and richness. Magnificent balance, very enjoyable.The Barrel Thief

Aroma is rich and fruity, maybe apple or pear mixed with grains. Not quite as rich on the tongue but still respectable, fruity sweetness the main flavor with some light vanilla thrown in. The richness makes it creamy, reminds me of vanilla pudding. Light tingle of some spice on the tail but not a whole lot. Tastes kind of like a speyside, a well done one too.

Sweetest ardbeg ive ever smelled. The peat and power are definitely there, but theres a sweetness unfer the smoke. The flavor doesnt disappoint, more mellowed and rounded than their standard peat and fire, on a bed of caramel and cane sugar sweetness. Smoke dominates the tail, which sticks around a long time. Absolutely lovely.

Subtle sweetness in the nose, molasses. Dark wood aroma mixed in. Wood dominates the flavor, a big hit with a fairly long tail. Flavors spread into chocolate and spice, but a deep heat like you'd get from a pepper. Musty and complex, hint of sweetness but mostly wood, chocolate, and heat. Quite interesting, very enjoyable.Kelnero

As much maple syrup on the nose as you'd expect. Body isn't syrupy and sweet like the stuff knob creek makes, I think the barrel finish saves it from that. The sweetness gives way to a sparkling rye finish, but the flavors are discordant for me. The sweetness up front makes the rye hit taste bitter. Interesting, not a favorite.JP Trodden Distilling
