Tastes

Some barnyard funk in here. The corn comes through strong but its almost like a grungy bin of feed corn half devoured by livestock. Not a fan.

I really enjoy this when I want something relaxed. I used it to introduce Scotch to friends who said they didn't like Scotch. Worked like a charm. It's rich and full, sweet and floral without getting syrupy. Tropical fruits.

This is excellent. I rarely get the cherry notes a lot of other reviewers mention, but this explodes with cherry to me. 6 years old and it tastes properly matured, not aggressive and angry like so many young bourbons. Well balanced, full and rich, not terribly spicy or overly sweet.

Wish I had known the proof before I put down the fist taste. Spicy and fiery before an ice cube. Sweet! Still hot. Classic rye but nothing more or less.

Good, definitely. Great ...meh. It's very middle of the road, spicy but not too much, sweet but not too much, etc. I guess I see the appeal, but it's not what I am after.

Dat nose! And dat burn! I need some water here. Damn fine whisky.

I'm pretty sure this is Caol Ila. it's got that mid-strong peat and oily character I remember from Caol Ila 12. water helps as its very potent stuff. there is a sweetness under the peat that makes me want to not put down the glass. I hope they have some left when I go back.

this stuff stands out. it's an outlier, sure, but it's unique. looking for something new and different, try this stuff.

Dull. Sweet but bland. I like a little jump jive and wail out of a bourbon but this one would rather sit and watch the action. It's easy going, not offensive, reminds me of Buffalo Trace.
