Lots of stuff going on. Mezcal really comes through. Chocolate chip cookies? The combo of flavors actually works well

Lots and lots of smoke! Not as medicinal as I remember the laphroaig 10 being. Would probably buy a bottle of this

Finally glad I'm able to try this one, impossible to find where I live. I do like the combination of flavors, particularly the peat, sweetness, and briny notes. Not an all timer for me but definitely unique

Spicy oak and brown sugar. Think I prefer the Sherry but still a good dram

One of my first cask strength bottles. It's really hot when poured neat, maybe a bit too hot for my liking. Adding water to an abv of 50ish helps unlock the sweeter notes for me. It does have a nice long finish. Overall not exactly what I'm looking for in a scotch, but can't complain about the value considering the price and abv

It's fine. I don't really get the meaty note. Just a bit like hay with some fruit notes. Adding some water actually helped brighten up the fruit notes some and think I prefer it this way

Love the smoke on this one. As it opens up you can get a bit of sweetness. Water doesn't do too much, maybe I get a bit of an earthy note with a couple of drops

It's fine, not my first pick for scotch. I really don't get a whole lot of notes, just really woody to me. Adding a couple of drops of water make it kind of musty?

Salt, pepper, smoke, and a touch of honey. Pretty intense heat that is dulled slightly by a couple of drops of water (though water doesn't change much else). I think I prefer this slightly over the 10 year. Just a bit more of a smoky profile that I look for in peated whiskys.
