Tastes

Nose is leather, then vanilla, maybe buttered popcorn, and then back to leather like your old leather messenger bag you have had for 20 years Sips bring out all these thing with cinnamon and red hots added. Long finish of oak tannins and cinnamon So darn good

The nose is light smoke, and maybe butterscotch candies First sip was quite a bit of smoke for me, but sips after that being a peanut brittle, more smoke like a campfire starting to smolder, and a salty quality. Like sweet and salty back to the peanut brittle. Very enjoyable

On the nose that smoke is present but dissipates rather quick. But the smoke I’m getting is more ash than anything. Second and third nose bring out a touch of honey and a briny quality. (I’ve seen that note posted a lot on here) First sip is that ash like smoke that fades to like bitter walnuts. Once acclimated to the ash smoke it turns more to the typical Famous Grouse flavors of that brine and honey again. Overall I like it. I thought Johnny Walker Black was a bit softer and more rounded, but I would buy this one again! Cheers!

The nose has a melon, bazooka bubblegum like quality to it. The sip is buttered popcorn, tart candies, a tinge of ethanol that turns back to a slightly tart finish. That finish lingers a bit with tart cherry and a metallic quality. It is turning to sliced red delicious apples now I’m really liking it

Batch 09 from Sweden This is an amazing whiskey. I echo the dried fruits, even pear, char, and vanilla all on the nose. Vanilla shines with cherries and cream with a touch of may red hots and a long finish touching on menthol and more candy. Amazing. My brother-in-law is from Sweden and picked a bottle up while there on a visit. Recommend if you can find it, cheers

Reminds me of Gentleman Jack with a bit more punch. I really enjoy it

Maple syrup on the nose. First sip gets brown sugar and maple, then warm cherry pie filling. My brother-in-law and I really enjoyed it!

This really is a good bang for your buck like the pro review said. The char comes through in such a good way. Excellent
