For the money, this is a solid buy—even caught it on sale at $17. Nothing mind blowing or amazing but its got a nice honey/butter biscuit flavor, nothing offputting. Perfect for a shot and a beer or for cocktails. Worth every penny.

WOW! This is a masterpiece! Crazy peat smoke, but layers of sweetness and tons of subtle flavors also. I thought it was sherried too but apparently that’s french wine casks. Brutally delicious!

That brandy barrel finish really ties this one together. Its still a Canadian whisky, so there’s that. But this is definitely darker, richer than the standard stuff.

If you live in the PNW, it’s inevitable that you’re gonna drink some of this. It’s Canadian but blended here in OR. No, it won’t blow your mind with complexity, it’s basically sweet and carmel with some oak and butterscotch. Easy sipping and sometimes that’s what you want. Pendleton and rootbeer (Henry Weinhard’s if you’re a local) is a decent cocktail!

As blended Irish goes, this is VERY good! There’s a lot of pot still in this, the dark, biscuity and rich notes are a dead giveaway. The grain keeps it fruity and bright. Well crafted!

Cant say I like it any more or less than the flagship...it’s definitely interesting and it pairs VERY nicely with an IPA. Definitely better than most hopped whiskys I’ve tasted.

An absolutely excellent malt. If you like the sherried Speysiders theres no suprises here but its just a really solid example of this style.

An absolutely amazing whisky. The sweet complexity you’d expect from a good coastal highland but you also get a unique peat as well as a mineral brine going on. This is ALWAYS treat.
