    Definitely some cloves and maybe vanilla, but tough to determine. Generally a good drink, but other options are better and cheaper.

    Plenty of sugary vanilla on the nose and in the taste. A little sweet vanilla with a nice bit of rye spice. The finish echoes the vanilla and rye, with just a touch of burn.

    Very solid drink, slightly smoky and spicy. A touch of hazelnut and caramel finish this nicely.

    Lightly peated flavor, but most of the scent and the taste come from the sherry cask. Not a bad value, especially if you like something a little sweet.

    Definitely sweet, like it came from a sherry cask. A light touch of peat which doesn't come near the sweetness. A nice drink, very approachable, but highly overrated and a bit expensive for what it is.

    So very smooth. Nicely peated with a little smoke, but definitely not overpowering. A little spiciness and sweetness on the finish. Wonderful, and not too expensive.

    I was hoping for better. A little honey aroma, but generally tough to distinguish. Has a nice woody spiciness and just a little sweet sherry. A nice drink, but not special.

    Even though it is "peated", the peat is not overpowering. It is balanced nicely with smokiness and a nice flavor. There is a surprising citrus flavor, mostly lemons and oranges, in the first taste. The smoky flavor lasts a long time in a very pleasant, nice cigar sort of way.

    Much different than the few others I have tried. A little cinnamon and toffee scent, but the real flavor comes out as hazelnut in a fairly long finish. Very tasty, but feel like there should be a little more to it.
