Tastes

Notes of Oak d sherry wine, flavors of banana and custard with a finish of sherry and spice

Nose: sweet spices and fruit Taste: flavors of vanilla custard and cake shifting to toasted spices and orange liquor at the end Finish: Short and sweet with a hint of fall spices and citrus Overall: a good whisky to introduce you to sherried scotch, better than the staple speysides but lacking in areas

Nose: light smoke, oily, with a briny salt flavor similar to Talisker 10. Add a few drops of water and the brine really comes out and over powers the smoke Taste: light smoke, with notes of vanilla and salt, the salt lingers in your mouth. Finish: more salt with hints of band-aid and ocean. The salt coats your throat making you want a sip of water. Overall I would prefer the 10 year

Nose: sweet custard, hints of citrus, vanilla and spice Taste: lightly spiced vanilla custard, faint notes of grass and an orange/lemon flavor Finish: short with sweet Sherry flavors changing to a hint of maple bourbon

Nose: hints of pepper and orange Taste: notes of maple, orange and spice, custard Finish: short with faint spice note

Nose: immediately hit with peat smoke and iodine, sea salt and acidic soil Taste: starts very salty then transitions to the medicinal flavor while your mouth fills with smoke. Smoke is more of an ash or cigar flavor. Very earthy and peppery with faint notes of lemon Finish: smooth and short, with the salty flavors staying the longest. This reminds me more of Laga 16, with much less pepper flavor.

Nose: charred oak and toasted maple with hints of pepper Taste: a blast of pepper and spice with notes of maple syrup Finish: strong and lingering, pepper lasts on the tongue with notes of vanilla and marshmallow complimenting the spice Really opens up with a splash of water

Nose - Light scents of vanilla and oak Taste - more vanilla with faint hints of coconut and slight floral notes Finish - smooth and oily with a mild oak flavor that reminds you of a bourbon

Vanilla and orange custard on the nose with a faint pepper finish. Sweet start from the Sherry with notes of vanilla, citrus, and almonds. Burbon finish with pepper and oak.
