Macallan Double Cask 12 Year

Oban Little Bay

Reviewed December 25, 2018 (edited February 16, 2019)Very fruity and sweet on the nose, with apples, pears, honey and a hint of caramel. An almost buttery quality on the tongue, followed by sweetness in the form of plums and honey. For me, the finish was short, with a hint of pepper at the end -
Glenfiddich Fire & Cane
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed December 2, 2018 (edited January 20, 2020)Let me start with, I really like this scotch. Some may think it is hokey, but its interesting and different. The nose is mellon, honey and a hint of peat. The tongue, blew my mind. First time I tasted it was after eating something sweet, all I got was peat and smoke. STRONG peat and smoke. Then I tried it after a glass of 8yr old Lagavulin, and it was incredibly sweet. I encourage everyone to experiment with this interesting scotch. I love the inventiveness of the Experimental Series. -
