Tastes

I’m a man of Islay scotch, but this is my favorite bourbon, hands down. The low price is the big upside, the downside being the scarcity. Absolutely delicious so you can see why. Buttery, smooth, oily, toffee deliciousness. If you see it on the shelf for under $60, buy two.

Eh. Typical Ardbeg 10, but a tad fruitier.

Tasty because I love ardbeg, and you definitely get smoke on the nose and palate, but there’s nothing that lingers. The 10 is much better and a third the price.

Nose is earthy and vegetal with that band-aid funk. Palate is peaty on the tongue with some burn to let you know it’s strength. A few drops of water will give a euphoric sensory overload. The finish is rather short but leaves a little oil. Overall, if you’re a fan of Islay’s then you’ll love it, if not, you’ll hate it.

A sweeter Talisker 10. The sea is just a bit more muted by the sherry, but definitely present. Nice price point also.

I give this a 4.5 because I’ve finally found the peaty punch in the jaw I’ve been looking for. I still prefer Laph 10 or Laga 16 more regularly, but this one is inexpensive, very tasty and a nice ABV

Peaty, meaty, but not too sweety. One of my absolute favorites. A legend for a reason.

Very tasty and very peaty which you get from younger whiskey. Blend of Islay

Tasted like flower flavored rubbing alcohol. Best thing about it is the remnants of the Laphroaig 10 that I didn’t rinse out of the glass. Might literally dump the bottle out otherwise it will sit on my bar until I can trick friends into finishing the bottle over the next few decades. Good thing I got it for free!
