Tastes

Interesting nose from the marriage of the 3 different finishes used, has nice rye aroma, vanilla, carmel... Palate flavorful rye does not disappoint Finish nice but I enjoy a 10 year Whistlepig store pick more overall

With all of the advertising for Game of Thrones Single Malt Collection, Mortlach 15-year-old and at $150 US +, plus i am interested in "THE WAY" Mortlach Distills ...SO the 16 year ($100 US) peaked my curiosity Very pleasant Sweet Sherry dominant nose - slight oak Palate: More Sherry and Peat Finish: Long - consistent Balanced from start to finish

Nose: Light Sherry & Sweetness Palate: Sherry & Oak Smooth yet complex

A excellent representation of an "older ' peated scotch at its prime. 18 years seems to be the perfect age for Caol Ila . This is right up there with the heavy hitters priced much higher. Nose: Peat, mild bandaid Palate: Well balanced - peat, medicinal Finish: :Long, smooth, and pleasantly lingers & lingers and lingers WOW

I am a fan of what Richard Patterson @ The Damore does with finishes...Quite a bit going on with this dram possibly muting it?? Due to retail cost i would say does not live up to price paid. Their website reads: Six different cask finishes are exquisitely curated to create a one of a kind whisky with a rich and enticing flavour profile. DALMORE KING ALEXANDER III is finished in Kentucky bourbon casks , Jerez Oloroso, Sicilian Marsala, Douro valley port , Cabernet sauvignon Sounds wonderful Nose, palate & finish are smooth but lacks my flavor profile. Not memorable

Un familiar with this whiskey as well as it being partly matured in casks that previously held cloudberry wine?? Might be my lack of familiarity as it does not hit any high notes for me nor does not it hit any low notes. I am indifferent to it. The nose definitely lacks what I look forward to. The palate & finish good enough

Nose: Sherry & Peat VERY PLEASANT Palate: Peat/ light peat. A little heat on 1st sip, but then quiets down Finish: Balanced I can appreciate this dram. Definitely enjoyable

Came back to the Bakers twice, as the1st time I had a Thomas H Handy 1st so the pour was muted. Def a good pour 4.25/ 5 Caramel Brown Sugar Vanilla Enough proof but not too much. I only drink neat & never add water to anything from 140+ proof on down. In today's environment ratings are more complicated if cost is factored in. So my rating is based on paying $100 - $120. As the price goes up rating goes to a 4. The bottle is very cool looking - I did not add anything in for the appearance but will look cool in any home bar

Was fortunate enough to get 3 oz for 49.65 Euros, a relative steal compared to what it would cost PER OUNCE in the US by the bottle. With that said I personally would not pay the 900.00 secondary pricing for a ER 17 The nose is refined caramel & vanilla , nothing really jumps out The palate is oak The finish i am not loving nor hatin Not really complex enough for me I still give it a 4 out of appreciation for it being 17 year age stated BTAC and the privilege to drink it. I however prefer the other 4 BTAC bottles generically irrespective of year & luckily the WLW, GTS & THH are not so hard to come by one way or another, and i would rate each of the other BTAC's all higher Cheers!!!

Four Roses 2017 Limited Edition Small Batch 53,9% Was delicious :-) Even though low rye mashbills comprise the 2017 LE SB there was enough spice to satisfy Fruit. Delicate Vanilla Caramel Toffee Oak SMOOTH!!!!! 15/16 still my favorites
