Tastes

Smoke, peat, brine on the nose but with some additional citrus, maybe some orange. Taste is peat forward with notes of apples or citrus and moves into a nice spice finish. Solid Islay option but the first taste doesn’t have much stand out in particular.

Honey, butterscotch and oak on the nose, mix of an Irish and Bourbon nose. Smooth with caramel and oak. Buttery with a good mouth feel, solid flavor. Finish is pleasant, really enjoyed the small taste I got.

Very smooth and flavorful. Caramel and oak forward with a very rich and complex nose. I feel like I would get something new each time I sipped this. Dark, oaky, good spice, but low burn on the taste. It reminded me of the Dickel 15 but easier to drink and with slightly better flavor. Would love to find a bottle.

Enjoyable rye, not sure the one taste I had showed much that stood out but was a solid rye.

Very flavorful. Sweet, honey, vanilla, oak and spice on the nose. Taste follows through on the smell and is quite complex. Very enjoyable and smooth but a lot of flavor, finishes pleasant and sweet. Exceptional.

Honey, apple, walnut and caramel on the nose. Really interesting taste that I wasn’t expecting despite the reviews. I don’t even know how to place it, I get caramel, citrus, smoke, leather, spice, chocolate, and I’m not sure what else but it seems to work. I definitely need to revisit this but interesting mix that’s a bit different than scotch I’ve had so far.

Warm, peaty, meaty, buttery nose. Taste comes in smoothly, doesn’t jump out at you but before you know it you have full peated flavor with a bit of spice. Might have sightly more bite and spice to it than the 16 but not overkill. Nice finish with smoke and spice that gives you a nice tingle for a bit.

Honey, apples, butterscotch and spice on the nose. Taste comes in smooth and sweet with a hint of spices adding some oak notes. Medium mouthfeel and moves nicely into a balanced finish. Very enjoyable.

Very light. Citrus and zest on the nose. Taste is pleasant, apples and a bit of spice. Mildly hot but not bad for 100 proof and it’s a refreshing taste. Finish lingers nicely of spice and a bit of citrus. Nice option.
