    Dates, warm treacle, figs and oak on a smokey blanket. Very chewy indeed.

    Good balance of peat and sweet. Long finish tastes like kippers, without the hassle of the bones.

    Lovely smoky flavours but the wee dram I tasted wasn't enough to experiment fully with dilution. It's perfectly drinkable neat but a few drops of water revealed more complexity. An aftertaste for bacon lovers.

    Smooth, warming, sweet. A comforting tipple for those moments when you're not feeling adventurous. What's not to like?

    We're still getting to know each other. This relationship could go either way, but I'm happy to let it run for now.

    Waves of brine in the nose. Many layers of smoky, sweet caramels on the palette and a finish that seems to last until bedtime. Not one of those cask strengths you can drink neat -- I settled on 3/4 fl oz water to 2 oz scotch.

    Too sharp for my liking. Not bad in cocktails.

    Revisiting this with my more refined palate I find I like it more than I had done. Not enough peat on the nose for my liking and the flavour profile is a little sharp and monotone on the palate. A dash of water opens it up and the finish is lovely and long, with suggestions of clove and honey amid the smoke.

    Sherry notes on the nose, somewhat sharp upfront but lovely caramel and orange flavours to the long aftertaste. Added a fourth star after warming to its Christmas pudding qualities over repeated tastings.
