Tastes

Strong aroma of citrus and almond that sets a precedence for the flavor profile. Mild oak and milk chocolate to start that lacks brilliance. Transitions of oak and nuttiness that linger with a clove essence. Strong finish of tangerine that is surprisingly enjoyable. All around enjoyable and smooth while being, disappointingly, uneventful.

Hits the nose with strong notes of apple and oatmeal. Initial burst to the tongue of citrus and oak with a subtle peat that lingers on the tip of the tongue throughout the tasting. Milk chocolate and malt present themselves with a swift transition to a caramel and vanilla finish that prolongs how truly enjoyable this whiskey is. From start to finish, this scotch is both a surprise and a delight that must be experienced.

A short burst of excellence; too short for my taste, but excellence nonetheless. A burst of smoke and oak to start with essence of citrus and florals. Smooth midlife to a sharpening of the palate before a burst of caramel with notes of clove. Very short finish but very drinkable.

Pleasantly strong without being overpowering. Smoke with lingering florals. Good bite on the tongue with excellent finish of vanilla. Caramel notes that are subdued by cinnamon and allspice finish. Very enjoyable.

Smooth as can be. Extremely drinkable with strong notes of caramel and vanilla. Mild peat with soft smoke and oak throughout. Clove and anise to start with a remarkably sweet finish.
