Tastes

Surprisingly silk texture and quality feel with a peaty tone, very good compared to others of the same category (cheap blends)

Really interesting one, pretty intense peat on the nose but not smoky, hints of dark chocolate and sweet nuts on the nose and palate, earthy tones with damp grass and peat (no smoke at all!) in the palate and after

First impressions: deep dark color, less oily texture than Green Spot. Strong bitter chocolate with red berries and raisins on the nose, "closed" palate tbat opens up with a drop of water, releasing a cookie flavor! The apple is there too, just more on the red side of the apple-spectrum as opposed to Green. Aftertaste is less creamy and more "dry" like having eaten dough that drained the moisture from your mouth.

Very light peat on the nose, almost indifferent taste, easy drinker but doesn't leave an impression

Sweet, tasty and warm but not exceptionally smooth like some other Speysiders

Light nose, unexpectedly "heavy" and rough palate with intense earthly, grassy and herbal tones, not really sweet

Pleasant nose with floral elements, a by more blatant in the palate with cereal and earthly taste, a bit metallic with short aftertaste, less buttery than most irish

Most balanced dram i've tasted

Shy nose, strong peppery taste at first sip but it is limited only in the palate, poor aftertaste
