Tastes

Open Date = 10-1-2020 Tasting Date = 5-19-2021 Weeks open = 32 weeks Tasting proof = 112.6 Bottle Fill Level = Last 1 ounce saved in 6cl sample bottle Still absolutely delicious and I will compare this "Cask Exploration Series" to my first bottle of Octomore when I open. Truly great peated whisky!

Open Date = 12-1-20120 Tasting Date = 5-17-2021 weeks open = 22 weeks Tasting proof = 92 Bottle Fill = half bottle. Tasty but still fairly strong alcohol burn watered to 92. Young whisky and a bit over-hyped in my opinion. Would probably be amazing @ 18 years but you get what you pay for and you never get what you don't pay for...........Slainte'

Open Date 2-17-2012 Tasting date 5-17-2021 This is my 3rd review and after 3 months being opened and @ 1/4 bottle left it has finally opened up to an acceptable taste profile for mu palate . But still I will say again...... Why would I buy this young newmake when I can buy Ardbeg 10 for the same price that blows this away by a large margin? I'm just hoping this lower quality product isn't in place to replace the 10 year old. That would be a tragedy against mankind! Buy again? = No way!

Open Date 2-1-2021 Review Date 5-13-2021 Opened Time 3.5 months Bottle Contents Just below the shoulder When first opened I didn't like it. It has opened up nicely after tasting today.Not quite as good as my other Bruichladdich's

Bottling Date = 2019 Open date = 6-12-2020 Tasting date 5-9-2021 Strong overpowering Oloroso tasting profile!

Bottle open date = 11/2/2020 Today's tasting date = 5/7/2021 Now open for apr. 7 months. and its finally opening up to a better profile for my palate. Still my least favorite Balcones single malt.

Open Date 2-17-2012 Tasting date 5-4-2021 Have to take my score down a bit more for this second tasting.Young and not feeling it here. Why would I buy this young new make when I can buy Ardbeg 10 for the same price that blows this away by a large margin? I'm just hoping this lower quality product isn't in place to replace the 10 year old. That would be a tragedy against mankind!I fear that Ardbeg is coming out with this product to stop production or increase the price of Ardbeg 10. To my palate this is a young poor quality product. Maybe @ $25 would be OK. Buy again? = No way!

Tasting date 4/26/2021 from Sample Overall impression and score= Meh! Why bother making such an inferior whisky. Just hurts the brand! Glad I just bought a sample to try.

Open Date 3/2/2021 Review date 4/26/2021 (after many tastings) Very cheap product. Whoever the buyer is @ Costco got taken to the cleaners by Alexander Murray % Company and obviously has no quality Scotch experience. Very thin on the palate. More like Sherry water than Sherry Scotch. Thin mouthfeel,and unmemorable finish.Waste of $80! I have 3/4 bottle for sale if anybody wants it.
