This is a very classic bourbon experience. I just don’t know why this would need 14 years of aging.

This was a nice surprise. At only 91 proof, this wasn’t lacking in taste. A bit more oak on the nose than on the palette, a pleasant caramel spreads throughout the sip.

This cost three digits? I must be missing something. It’s obviously not heavy. That’s to be expected. The problem is a lingering sticky candy sweetness- not in a good way.

I’m not normally one to quibble over heat, but this is too hot when going down. It’s a nice candy sweetness at first, but then the burn overwhelms.

A pleasant experience. Lightly sweet at first, then fading into spice and cinnamon. Not hot despite the proofing.

I’m used to a peaty Islay being meaty, or salty, or herbal. This is sweet and honeyed, a fascinating relationship with the smoke. I suspect this isn’t for everyone, but it has a dedicated following.

This wouldn’t be a terrible choice for someone new to Scotch. And it has a bright, fruity nose. But it’s just too watery.

Hey, a Laphroaig I enjoyed! The band-aid dominance of the 10 isn’t here, nor is the dissonant sweetness of the Cairdeas. Instead, a touch of sweet complements the classic briny, ashy, meaty Islay character.

It’s perfect for teachers- because it’s apple, you see. Apple on the nose, apple on the taste, slightly dry apple on the finish with just enough earthiness to keep you from getting apple-d out. Very easy to drink.
