Tastes

Really fresh peat notes. The sting of the 58% is real. Smells sweet like a teriyaki beef jerky. Behind the alcohol burn there is a lovely full underlying sweetness of red apples, grass, dried plum, and pure chocolate. The finish is surprisingly short with a little weird bitterness like orange pith and overextracted coffee.

Peat and sea on the nose. Underlying fresh notes of citrus and tobacco and campfire (the one with a little too much wet wood). A little sherry. Taste: citrus notes. Caramel, meaty and well balanced sweetness. Sherry barrel is really present. Long lingering finish. Buttery and caramel. After a minute it switches back to fresh fruits. Amazing whisky.

clear peat on the nose, but not so overwhelming that you cant smell anything else. sweet undertones with a hint of vanilla and orange. when sipping, the body is full and rich with clear barrel spices, and some peat. chocolate and dark fruit develops. on the finish there is chocolate, and some tobacco, almost meaty. the finish is long. an amazing whisky for its price.

citrus, apple and a bit of honey on the nose. In addition there is a very shiny metallic smell that i dont really like here. Malty and slightly briny on the taste, with vanilla, cookies, hay. finish is medium long with caramel, coffee and a hint of tobacco. Great value for money

Bright peat nose with apples, slight citrus and a bit of vanilla hiding behind it. Smoky taste but not as harsh as I expected based on the nose. There is a rich fruitiness, citrus and honey underneath. Pretty sweet and surprising. The finish is medium long with caramel and a bit of tobacco, and that peat is back here. I like it A few drops of water really mellows the smoke and peat down. It tastes a lot sweeter after that.

Vanilla, caramel and green apple on the nose. On the palate it's smooth with a lot of raw wood flavor, grass, caramel. Pretty sweet. Finish is a bit atomic with caramel dominating. 30 seconds and it's gone.

blind tasted next to cardhu 12. very light nose. apples, pear, lime. hints of orange. vanilla dominates. light on the palate with more fresh fruit. spices (clove or cinnamon?) but not harsh. hints of chocolate and fresh cut grass. pretty sweet. Overal pretty smooth but on the weaker side. short finish with a bit of sherry cask coming through. decent whisky for a hot day, but this would not be a good sipper for me. a few drops of water totally destroys this whisky.

grassy and floral. hints of sherry. honey on the nose. taste of honey, grassy and citrus. caramel and vanilla. its sweet, but a bit flat and underwhelming. very short finish mainly red fruit and caramel

Vanilla and dried fruit on the nose. Obvious sherry finishing. Hay on the nose. A rich fruity taste, chocolate, coffee beans. Grass and citrus. Darker notes as a finish. Dark fruit, coffee.

A rich nose with some vanilla, overly present sherry, dried fruits and plums. The alcohol notes are surprisingly harsh on the nose for a 40% whisky. The flavor has chocolate added to it. Very fruity. Rich cherry finish. Pear on the finish. This whisky does not profit from adding water. The sherry notes get tones down, and the chocolate gets accepted.
