Tastes

As described when tasted neat. Good heat on the palate and nice finish. Stonefruits and vanilla come through well. Adding water gives it a brings out the vanilla and mellows just a bit, the heat still comes through. May be hard to find outside of Alaska, but worth a try if you see it!

Crisp honey and floral nose. Honey vanilla and more citrus tartness. Hop bitters on the palate into the finish makes the tongue pucker in a good way, wanting more. A little sweetness lingers at the tail end. Not something I'd drink every day, but a nice addition for your bar for the guest that wants something a little different.

Lovely nose, banana, vanilla and toffee. Palate runs hotter than I expected, which makes flavors hard to detect. Mild, fruity sweet finish. A splash of water helps. I prefer the creaminess (and price) of Green Spot.

Nose is fruity sweet with a bit of salt and smoke. Palate hits harder with peat and some bitterness and pepper, leaving the sweet behind. Finish leaves a light lingering puff of smoke. Definitely a campfire scotch.

This one is all about the palate, as the nose and finish aren't that notable. Rich, oaky, chocolate, coffee palate. One to reach for when you have a dark chocolate craving. Will definitely try it in Irish coffee and keep a few bottles in stock.

Chocolate caramel nose. Incredibly smooth, vanilla and more caramel on the palate. Short finish with a little bit of kick. Very nice

The smoke is mild, especially on the nose, when compared to some of the peatier scotches, but it develops nicely through the palate and finish. Very smooth with no booze burn at all. Traces of both cherrywood and peat smoke come alongside a woody sweetness and a hint of salt.

Not overly sweet. Well balanced. Chocolate and vanilla both come through, otherwise somewhat nondescript.
