Tastes

Starts with a port and charred barrel nose. First sip of this is quite smokey. You can tell this is from Scotland and there is an over ripe berry and grape fullness to it. Gives way to a peppery burn that is quite long lasting, but lacks any strong flavors.

Strange aftertaste on this one. Good concept, but the execution isn't quite right for me.

Fireball is what it is. Drink it straight like a shot of candy or mix it with some cider on a cold fall or winter night.

On its own this is like liquid candy. Which can be nice, but I prefer to 50/50 with barrel strength Makers Mark for a really nice mixed drink.

Let's start by saying this is a nice drink on the rocks. It is more of a cocktail in a bottle than a straight whiskey so all of the negativee comments can pound sand. What it isn't - a top shelf straight drinker. What it is - a lovely port and whiskey blend that does fantastic over a few cubes. My reccomendation is that you have a healthy pour over ice and ignore the naysayers!
