Wow. That mouthfeel, so oily. Massive pepper spice hits initially, red fruits, dates almost a hint of liquorice. Absolutely delicious.

Nutty, chewy, spicy, then that classical redbreast his at the end. Lovely sweetness like malted barely mixed with oak make this a lovely dram. A drop of water pulls out lovely cereal notes.

Very tannic, perhaps too much sherry influence, almost mutes the charm of redbreast. Notes of red fruits, hints of Christmas cake, dark chocolate and coffee.

More herbal than typical redbreast. Red apples and vanilla hit home. Lovely creamy mouthfeel. Peppery finish, far more bourbon influence than sherry.

A little peat on the nose, but an otherwise bland nose. Comes alive on the palette, Apricot, pine, smokey bbq. Some dried red fruits coming through from the sherry casks. Nice lingering finish.

Wow, that's gorgeous. Sour cherries, caramel, cinnamon. The finish lasts for ever, you can just chew on it all night. Lovely fight between the oak tannins and the sweetness.

Wow, that's a big hitter. The soft nose belies the creamy, sweet and spicy hit that comes. Lovely honey, dried orange finish.

Molasses, coconut and almond on the nose. Slowly opens up and bursts into a long finish. Big molasses hit. Stronger oak/cask effects. than previous Saz18 releases.

I was expecting more. Vanilla, cinnamon and oranges on the nose. Rye spice hits first, then mellows into oak tannins. It's a nice drop just not sure it hits the heights of the rest of the series.

Red fruits on the nose. Caramelized cherries on the tongue mellows to molasses. Slight bitter finish but not in a bad way.
