Aromas of cedar, toffee, banana bread, clove, orange peel, and cocoa dust. Fairly velvety mouthfeel, with a little bit of tannin. Flavours include more cedar, toffee, banana bread, and clove; black pepper, vanilla – and a faint note of rich dark chocolate on the end. Finishes quite long. 3.75/5.00 – Very Good (neat)
-
Sweet aromas of caramel, vanilla, cedar, nutmeg, hazelnut, brown butter, and grilled peach. Rich, silky mouthfeel which gets more tannic over time. Palate shows lots of charred oak, plus more vanilla, caramel, peach, butter, and nutmeg. Finishes quite tannic – though not harsh – and very long. 3.75/5.00 – Very Good (neat)
-
Aromas of fresh bread, honey, cigar box (cedar & smoke), peat moss, and lemon peel. Relatively light and round mouthfeel. On the palate, more honey, peat, lemon, and cigar box – plus sunflower seeds and old leather. Some decent heat on the midpalate from the proof, with a bit less on the finish. Finishes quite long. 3.75/5.00 – Very Good (neat)

Nose is fairly subtle, showing lemon peel, honey, a whiff of brine, wet earth, and vanilla. Relatively light, somewhat oily mouthfeel. Palate shows more lemon, brine, earth, and vanilla, plus oak and nutmeg. Finish has a mild bite to it, and is medium-long. Good in the grand scheme of all whisky – but pretty underwhelming for a single malt. 3.25/5.00 – Quite Good (neat)
-
Fiery aromas of clove, demerara sugar, cola, nutmeg, raisin, ripe banana, and vanilla. Rich and full-bodied in the mouth, with intense alcohol heat on the attack and midpalate – though maybe not as much on the finish as you'd expect for the sky-high proof. Flavours include more demerara sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, clove, cola, and banana, with a touch of coffee. Finishes relatively long. With a bit of water, the clove-driven spicy notes take a step back, and the sugar, vanilla, and coffee come to the fore. 3.75/5.00 – Very Good (neat)
-
Fragrant aromas of elderflower, ripe pear, wildflower honey, citrus blossom, lychee, and white peach. Rich mouthfeel, with balanced sweetness. Palate shows more elderflower, honey, pear, peach, and lychee – with touches of grape jelly and cinnamon on the finish. Finishes very smooth (unsurprising given the sugar and low proof) with short-medium length. 3.75/5.00 – Very Good (neat)
-
Charred oak, lemon peel, clove, hay, brown sugar, and nutmeg aromas. Mouthfeel is full-bodied, with some tannin. More oak, clove, hay, and nutmeg on the palate, plus green apple and pepper. Midpalate has a bit of heat, but things smoothe out fairly quickly on the finish – which has very nice length. 3.75/5.00 – Very Good (neat)
