At the nose, what you get is a very heavy malty flavor, like barley sugar, with some little components of walnut and very very little of honeysuckle and earthy soil flavor(maybe). When you taste it, it's quite smooth and don't have no burn. It's quite the same cereal taste, with some syrup notes but with a fast finish - definitely a cheap finish. It's a little bitter, like gentian plant with that barley sugar end in background. I really can't figure out how this whisky can be compared to other Islay ones.

Reviewed November 25, 2016 (edited February 17, 2017)When you have so many flavours in a drum - sea on the nose, oily sweet harsh on the tongue and that firecamp sound on the finish - you can be sure this must one GREAT single malt -
Colour is clear amber, very nice. This dram smells of marine notes, dry seaweed, toasted liquorice, a bit of citrus if water is added (but very light). Tasting is like chopping a big salmiakki, but with some bitter dark chocolate. Finish is too much bitter, but also woody and ashy. On the bottom of the empty glass you'll find some graceful wood, liquorice notes, with a bit of citrus. Nice dram but definitely not my favorite from Islay

Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — Texas, USA
Reviewed December 27, 2015 (edited December 30, 2015)Fall '14. Very nice bourbon, a great expression but WTF what a price. Colour is great, very clear caramel, and with a little water it won't get cloudy. I tasted it at about 70 proof. At the nose, definitively leather, but with some oily smells like roasted sesame and a little spicy pepper flavour. Body is smoky, creamy with embers, aftertaste is metallic with a slightly bitter note. Base notes are, for me, earthy with a little bit of dried fruit. 4 stars, great spirit. -
