Tastes

Strong peat but surprisingly smooth and balanced. 94/100.

Nose: Banana bread, honey, and sweet spices. Taste: Creamy and warm with molasses, wood notes, and apple. Spicy and hot on the end. 90/100.

White fruits, wine grapes, vanilla, and lemon on the nose. Citrus fruits, lemon meringue, and dry white wine on the tongue. Warming, creamy, dry, and spicy. Long finish that is cloyingly sweet and lingers. 86/100.

Fruit and honey sweetness on the nose. Vanilla, nuttiness, and some pear on the palate. Creamy, rich, and smooth. Medium to long finish that balances honey sweetness with a touch of char smoke in the background. 91/100.

Nose is full-bodied, rich, and balanced. Allspice, orange peel, vanilla, and oak. Nothing overpowers anything else and all notes get their turn. The taste is hot and spicy at the beginning with a heavy mouthfeel. Orange peel, sugar, honey, and charred oak toward the middle. Finish lingers on and on. Water tames the nose a little and brings forth cinnamon, but muddles and dilutes the taste. 93/100.

Very sweet on the nose. Lemon and orange zest; whipped cream and vanilla extract. Sweet and subtly spicy at the beginning, then barley and a little oil arrive. Spice picks up a lot at the end with a lingering finish. Even a little water dampens both the nose and taste too much. 90/100.

Vanilla, orange peel, cream, and salt in the background on the nose. Very bright and crisp. Smoky and briny at the start but still smooth. Then peppery moving to vanilla, honey and citrus with a touch of smoke at the end. Water brings citrus and cream to the fore of the nose but washes out the palette. 90/100.

Peat, iodine and the seaside on the nose. Hot and peppery with smoke and salt on the tongue. Light sweetness on the finish. Water tames the nose and taste but doesn't bring forth any new notes. 88/100.

Cereal, fresh fruits, grass, vanilla, and lemon peel on the nose. Water brings grass and bright, fresh lemon to the fore. Taste is smooth with a medium mouthfeel. Slight salt, lemon and light woody notes. Finish is moderately long, slightly bitter, and drying. Water dulls the taste bringing out no new notes. 85/100.
