Tastes

Rich, bold, but not as hot as I was expecting. Brown sugar and chocolate covered cherries. Medium finish.

Nice and full bodied. Bananas foster on the palate, with load of sautéed banana on both the nose and palate. Candied orange slices. Some turbinado sugar. Very similar to glenmorangie cadboll estate.

Rich, full bodied, sweet, smoke, brown sugars, raspberries. Absolutely delicious and a steal of a dram finding it randomly at a local bar.

Rich and malty. Full mouthfeel. Light caramel. Orchard fruit. Long finish. Excellent for the money.

Cereal grains. Almost like Golden Grahams. The distiller review was spot on - some water adds body and richness. Some spice. Maybe a little heat from the higher ABV, but still very drinkable.

Creamy. Sweet. Rich. Salted caramel and malted goodness. Medium finish. Very good.

Wow. Big peat, brine, heather and honeycomb, some orchard fruits. Excellent value for the amount of flavor. Reminded me of a Highland Park 12, 10x the peat, then took all the flavors and cranked it up to 11.

Excellent. Spice cake, toffee, and some dark berries - raspberries, and maybe blackberries - on the nose. Follows through with the same on the palate plus significant almond nuttiness. Rich and coating mouthfeel, though a shorter finish than I expected.

Straightforward, clean, and creamy. Nice light caramel sweetness, with a little oak spice on the finish. Not a lot here, but very drinkable.

Lots of reviews have talked about the rich and velvety texture. I’d say that’s the best aspect of this whisky. It’s good but not great. Cherry and cream on the nose and follows through with the same on the palate. Not a lot of complexity, but a very drinkable and enjoyable dram. I’d be happy serving this is a flight to give an affordable example of port barrel aging.
