    I love telescope. There is a strong with of smoke in the nose accompanied by notes of honey cinnamon Saint traces of citrus smell smoke I think I mentioned Susan smelled apple apple and cherry from likely from the Bourbon cask’s. It’s smoking this is divine if you love smoky scotch

    Initial heavy peat nose overpowers everything else. Beautiful dark honey color with legs slow to show. Peaty, smoky flavor, improves to honey and berries after drops of water added. Unfortunately, peat overwhelms other, more subtle flavors. Pairs beautifully with smoked cheese.

    This one was great. It had definite salt in the nose as well as berries in the nose on tasting, there was more salt pepper and caramel flavor is along with some of the fruit and had a nice aftertaste was more of the caramel and fruit that we liked very much.

    This one we liked a lot. It has a nice amber color and a nose full of honey caramel vanilla honey lots of complex flavors. Tasting it it’s very smooth there’s some peat and some smoke but not a lot and has a very complex flavors that we liked a lot.

    Nice amber color and initial knows of honey. On drinking it it’s warm have Paris but not quite the complexity of flavors that we would’ve hoped for an 18-year-old but still very nice scotch.

    We loved this the best. Very peaty and smoky but with hints of caramel, chocolate, supposedly bacon but we never tasted it, maybe a little burnt caramel I say honey. It was really the smoothness and the smokiness that made this our fav.
