Tastes

Very nice NAS HP expression. The price for value is over the top! This easily tastes like or better than any age stated variety costing upwards of $50USD. My new low cost go-to whisky.

This is a NAS whisky that wants to be a Laphroaig really badly but tries to market itself as something different and "hip". For the price I would rather have a Laphroaig 10 Year. If it were about $20 bucks cheaper then it would be worth it. Now, don't get me wrong it is a good tasting, heavy peaty dram, but the value for content just isn't there.

This is a "love it" or "hate it" kinda whisky. Very young single malt that provides a lot of burn. It has very deep notes of wood smoke and charcoal. The finish on this single malt is one of the strangest I have ever encountered; it leaves a odd "tingle" on the roof of the mouth for some time after. Very inexpensive so I would recommend every one try it at least once (if you can find it).

Giving random 4 or 5 stars is not my thing; something must really impress me. And, as a lover of Islay scotch, this is among the best. However, due to the heavy peat and smoke this is not a "beginner" Islay bottle in my opinion.

One of the best, if not THE best, lower shelf blends out there. Great taste, smooth and well rounded.
