Representing the southern highlands Nose: oaky and oranges. Tangerine. Honey. Light vanilla sweetness. So distinct from anything I’ve nosed before. Distinct. Almost just a ghost of smoke Body: super smooth and easy Palate: orange, pie crust Finish: short and sweet with just a hint of smoke Note: this is really good. The nose is so different the taste is sweet. My only fault is the finish doesn’t last as long as I would like.

Representing Speyside Livet River Nose: a sugary orange, toffee, sweet oak. A little more apricot/sherry Body: medium and easy Palate: sweet, caramel a little spice. Sherry and very light pepper Finish: long, sweet late oak Note: this is a really nice scotch. Sweet, light, floral, warming an easy dram that is delicious. Second tasting, so much sugar on the palate. Crazy smooth, orange peel shavings on pie crust with caramel sauce. Nuts on the nose. This is really good

Nose:very nice and easy nose, not pushy. Has salted caramel and vanilla. The requisite bourbon nose with toffee. A hint of maple syrup. Body: thin, light, easy Palate: medium spice, vanilla, caramel, very pleasant Finish: long and burning but in a good way. Lingering caramel and toffee, wafts of distant maple syrup being boiled. Note: this is good. Easy to drink and pleasant. Like so many good bourbons it has all the important features of spice and caramel, vanilla, toffee, this adds a like maple syrup note. Very good
