Tastes

Great whiskey, but 10 year is still better. I liked this one better than 30 yr though.

Definite fresh split oak nose right off the bat

Extremely smooth, and slightly less smoky than regular laphroaig. For the price though, I don't think it would be worth it. Had a sampler bottle

Very lightweight, but has some good vanilla notes and is smooth. Very easy to drink

Doesn't seem as complex as a typical redbreast - fairly sweet, but the nose ends with a very alcoholic note, almost like it is a high proof. I can taste some of the licorice notes in the finish

When first poured, it has a very distinct grain alcohol smell. Once it opens up though it smooths out. Very drinkable, but nothing really stands out about it. Slightly sweet with fruit flavors, and has a very short finish that doesn't linger. Probably over priced for what it offers

Great finish, but a really strong nose that overpowers (no pun intended). I compare it to yellow spot, which I shouldn't, but even though it's a smooth whiskey the nose is very alcoholic. Hopefully it with smooth out over the life of the bottle.

Fantastically smooth whiskey. I splurged when I was at the distillery and was able to try a glass. I still compare whiskeys to Yellow Spot, and for an extra $30 a don't think it beats it in the dollar for dollar comparison. But it is a great whiskey to try if you can.

Heavenly. Nothing else needs to be said
