Good straightforward 100 proofer. Alcohol burn to start the nose, into some oakiness and spice. Seems like high rye content. Pretty short finish. No complaints but would rather grab the of rye. Less than $15 with a costco combo pack with 1920.

Really well balanced rye. Nose is filled with dark dried cherries, spices and and dark chocolate. Taste follows with more rye spice, but its not overpowering and is balanced with more fruit notes and a long spicy finish.

So much fruit all the way through! The distiller description is spot on, strawberries on the nose with a hint of vanilla. Taste is very sweet, with very obvious port influence. Wont be an everyday whiskey for me, but an Excellent desert dram, kind of in line with mwnd.

Solid Irish whiskey. Fruity, sweet and light. Apple, pear and honey notes throughout. Honestly not super memorable and a bit too light for my taste. Love to try the CS version.

First peated Laddie and it doesn’t disappoint. Reminds me a lot of Ardbeg 10, but a bit heavier with a thicker/more oily mouthfeel and higher abv. Nose is classic Islay peat, with a hint of sweetness. Taste starts stromg peat, onto maybe a little bit a fruitiness and vanilla. Medium finish

So much better than regular makers. Sweet cherries, oak and maybe a bit of citrus on the nose. Taste starts a bit hot but settles quickly into cherry, vanilla, some slight saltiness and perhaps almost orange/citrus. Finish is fairly long with cinnamon and fruit sticking around. Really solid, but not quite up to the level of ecbp or stagg jr.

Wow this one is excellent. The nose is like a high proof port. Tons of fruit and spice. Taste follows through the same. Sweet fruit to start, into so slight vanilla and finished with rye spice on a long finish. Love this

Peat, brine, tobacco, and dried fruits on the nose. Taste follows through with similar notes. Definite Lagavulin, but less smoky than 16. Less age makes it lighter and a bit sweeter. Still a winner, especially for the $60 price!
