Tastes

Nose: Couldn't feel the sherry at first, but at the second pour, the sherry notes were quite present. (Maybe because it was the first pour, or maybe because my nose wasn't working well idk) Has a strong bourbon note mixed to it as well. Quite floral too Mouth: Very woody & spicy compared to your average highland single malt, due to the bourbon cask aging, and citrusy, similar to that of the signature Glenmorangie 10Y) that goes along well with the floral notes. Also feels like I'm drinking a cognac+scotch mix due to the very present grape flavors. Finish: Little tartness to it, silky, and a sweet aftertaste lingers for quite some time.

Floral and fruity on the nose, and the peatiness is present on the nose but light on the palate. Woody, sweet and a little salty when first tasted and has a little tartness on the finish.

Maple and honey notes on the nose. Not that much alcohol to the nose considering that this is 114 proof. Thick body, tart feel to it too. Very sweet and the spicy taste is very empowering the whole dram. Super woody, velvety and more woody & a little smokiness on the finish.

Very floral and fruity on the nose. Cut grass and apples when first smelled. Because of the NAS, it's lacking in bodiness but still has a present malty flavor. More vanilla or silky than sweet. For the price point, I would prefer Naked Grouse, but would recommend for people who want to start tasting whisky.

Strong vanilla, toffee smell from the nose. Oak scents and a little smoky flavor when first sipped and leaves a very leathery sweet texture in the palate. Surprisingly not that strong considering it's 55% but would've loved it if it was a little more spicy. Enjoyed very much.

Overall, a great bourbon with a balanced taste. Nothing too overpowering. Very woody and tobacco from the nosing, has a fresh fruitiness, more woodiness and vanilla feel on the palate and a very sweet finish.

Sweet, balanced, almost-perfect amount of peat, fruity all in one great dram. Also the 15 year age brings out the mature body well on this fabolous whisky. Probably the best dram in this price range hands down.

Mild woody and sweet scent from the nose. Has a very light bourbon/rye peppery taste to it but also the mouth feel is very flat like the Red Label. Would recommend this for a scotch based cocktail.
