On the nose, you get the peat first then it settles into honey, graham crackers, a salt air note and floral sweetness. On the palate its honey nut cheerios and maltiness, reminiscent of Speyburn and Lismore but “cleaner”, and of course a mild briny peat. Definitely the best JW I’ve tasted and just a damn good whisky on its own.65.0 USD per Bottle

Definitely better than the original, but that’s not a high bar. This comes off as the lower end highland that it is but at least this one is enjoyable. It’s still got an acrid bittersweet note that I can’t place or shake…maybe its a taste of wet leaves? *edit* After a few days and coming back to this, it’s opened up nicely. Its more balanced with less of that bitter/saccharine taste which is still there but at least now its in check. Im gonna bump it up a bit.39.0 USD per Bottle

Typical f Cruzan, this is value priced but delivers big. More than just a mixer, this is perfectly satisfying sipped neat. Butter, vanilla, a little oakiness with more richness than you’d expect from a light rum. Compared to the flagship Cruzan light rum, this is considerably nicer.20.0 USD per Bottle
