Tastes

Pretty good pour. First drink was with several ice cubes as I prefer to drink most scotch and bourbons. First sip was great. Rest of the glass was boring as the melted ice quickly hid the flavors. Second glass was better, as I took away all but one ice cube. Great pour but drink it neat, or a single cube so that you don’t lose the flavor and the very interesting vanilla aftertaste that makes it unique.

This has such a mature full bodied scotch. Absolutely nails it on the head. Love the fruitiness and sweetness. Such character and you can really appreciate the uniqueness of using a solera vat for this. It’s a must have in my bar.

Sweet goodness from the barrels. My favorite scotch from the bourbon barrel experiments. Glad this is permanent in the Glennfiddich line.

Excellent. Smooth, sweet, perfect scotch. I love this bottle.

Very spicy rye here. But I like it. It’s not my favorite rye but surprisingly easy to sip considering it’s Abv.

Excellent. Sweet, spicy, and a nice burn with a long oily finish. Really opens up with an ice cube or two.

So smooth. Butter, chocolate, leather, and perfection. Absolutely worth the hype. Excellent selection.

Some good juice. Smooth for 50%abv. Tastes mature and sophisticated. Great bottle for the price.

Awful. Terrible wood taste and no flavor. Not a fan of almost anything that Beam puts out. Can’t stand their aftertaste. Don’t waste your money.

Super smooth up front. Fruity and tart before the floral and a little spice appear. Strong alcohol finish that doesn’t linger long. Good pour.
