Tastes

Rich dark dried fruits, bit of chocolate and toffee. Bit on the sweeter side but the spice helps keep it balanced. Friends and i smashed half a bottle in once night we enjoyed it so much.

Dry musty oak and tart stone fruits. Wine really comes through on the long finish. Very nice pour.

Oak and fruit on the nose with some nail polish remover. Candied cherries and vinyl siding tasting. Not bad for CR but a little one note. IMO not worth the $100+CAD but was decent.

Funky sherry barrel on the nose, long smoky peat delivers on the palate. Not overly sweet which is great. I’ll update later after a few as this was the neck pour. After some time and oxidation, I’ve come to enjoy this one a fair bit. It turned into a bandaid tire fire! Absolutely surprised how much this one changed. I’ll def be hunting a second bottle for future.

Young smoky peat, floral, sweetness(stone fruit like a peach or nectarine), oak spice and slight bitterness on the end. Little thin but plenty of flavour. Overall it’s pretty damn good. Looking forward to seeing some older expressions.

Spicy, dry wood, honey and fruit. Not getting the peat or smoke but maybe a faint bit of earthiness. Slapped it down with a touch of water and some floral, vanilla and toffee came out. It honestly a simple whiskey blend that you need to spend time with to really get it all.

Classic Ardbeg peat and tarry creosote smoke, hint of sherry and it’s youth all come through for an easy quaffing dram at a great price. Killed the bottle in relatively short time and it will be replaced.

Vanilla, vanilla cream, like a vanilla toffee creme filling in a pastry. I’ve had Cameronbridge before and this is spot on but definitely more rich. Long dry wood spice, shame it’s only 43%, would have loved to try this a little higher. Regardless it’s easily drinkable, tasty and it would change minds that thought poorly of “blended grain” whisky.
