Tastes

Sweet on the nose. Vanilla and fruity notes follow. It doesn’t finish like you’d expect a 100 proof bourbon to

Very spicy on the tongue, and warm in the stomach. This is a complex bourbon with no burn in the throat. I sometimes like to cut a spicy bourbon with ice or a splash of water, but this is easy to sip neat out of a glencairn glass.

Very solid bourbon. Spicy and warm going down, with a pleasant after taste that doesn’t linger

Slightly peated, somewhat sweet. Smells sweeter than it tastes; like honey and fruit. I get a bit of vanilla, but not as much as others

One of the first scotches I tried. Somewhat fruity with vanilla on the nose. Doesn’t hang around the palate, and goes down warm but soothing, like honey.

Very good blended scotch. Great one for beginners; sweet and not too complex. I prefer neat, but also mixes well with club soda or in a cocktail.

Very peaty and complex. A few drops of water really helps the flavor come out. Smokiness is the flavor that lingers. Goes down smooth - not too much peat.
