Nose - floral scents, hint of orange, light burn in the nose Taste - floral and vanilla that tapers off Finish - moderate length with some carryover from the taste, not much else here, little to no burn Score - 3.0, not much of a statement in this one, but nothing necessarily bad. Maybe if the ABV was higher (currently at 40%) it would be more vibrant. Scoring Legend 5.0 - Outstanding, unmatched to others 4.5 - Excellent, I will always keep a bottle in stock if possible 4.0 - Very good, quite enjoyable to drink, can consider as a solid choice 3.5 - Good, would taste again 3.0 - Average 2.5 - Acceptable, still drinkable 2.0 - Inferior, able to drink but not enjoyable 1.5 and below—wouldn’t drink again unless I am desperate

Nose - vanilla bean, slight nip on the nostrils Taste - sweet honey and vanilla for days Finish - so smooth, a warmth left in the belly and a pleasant oaky/vanilla is left over on the palate, breathing out as you finish a sip reinvigorates the taste Score - 4.5, Japanese whiskies are killing it right now, atleast the ones I've tried. This is cheaper than some others, but don't let that fool you on the quality.

Nose - from a foot away it's like smelling a pancake breakfast with lots of pure maple syrup Taste - slight burn with more maple flavor Finish - a toasty and slight smokey follow through Score - 3.5, so this is hard to rate since as a desert it's solid. No way would I just sip this regularly. Maybe make some mixed drinks or cook with it as well.

Nose - initially reminded me of tequila in a weird way, got better as the bottle went on with a nutty malt, sugary fruit Taste - rather smooth and sweet with smoke and a bit of tobacco Finish - not too long, easy here with oak Score - 3.25, nose is not that great at first but got better, taste is the winner on this one Scoring Legend 5.0 - Outstanding, unmatched to others 4.5 - Excellent, I will always keep a bottle in stock if possible 4.0 - Very good, quite enjoyable to drink, can consider as a solid choice 3.5 - Good, would taste again 3.0 - Average 2.5 - Acceptable, still drinkable 2.0 - Inferior, able to drink but not enjoyable 1.5 and below—wouldn’t drink again unless I am desperate
