Tastes

Nose:. It's got a bite to it. Spicy heat surrounding a fruity base. I get a dark chocolate cocoa too. Taste: fruity, more normal scotch than Islay but backbone with a sweeter mellow ardbeg smoke. Reminds me of Auriverdes (sp). I get almost shortbread and chocolate. Not getting any peanut which others notice. Finish: Not particularly long finish which lets me down a bit because what is there is very pleasant.

Nose: it's all sea air and smokey peat to start. Then smooths into the usual arbeg meaty smoke and salt. I could mell it all day. Taste: exactly like it smells. Stays the same through the tasting. Lots of flavor and easy with no bite. Finishes with a mellow smokey meaty flavor. Delicious.

Nose- feels a bit muted. Slightly sweet caramel, almost a bitter under note if cherries and orange peel. Taste- Rye pops hard then brings in sweet dark sugars and spice. Finish- the heat and spice fades leaving a sweet eye finish I quite like. Normally these don't wow me but I find this one quite nice

Nose- Sweet dark caramel, rye and baking spice, green grass, vanilla, oak and black walnut woods, orange peel, looks thick in the glass. Maybe getting some kettle corn. Taste- balance between sweet sugars and spicy woods, almost a banana nut bread, the age smooths out but wood doesn't over power. It stays extremely flavorful, it's complex and delicious. Finish - bourbon vanilla, barrel, spices carry on but fades into more sweetness. Minty real spearmint. Dark cherry soda. Probably my favorite Master Keep to date.

Nose- Sweet, Taste- cinnamon sticks, shortbread, more wood and barrel then a most Glenlivet to me but it's. It a brand I drink often. Finish- fades off to just a bit of spice and heat. Not doing a lot for me.

Nose- spearmint, rye, sweet grass, maybe almost floral, plus caramel Palette- spicier than the nose, still mint, caramel, sugars, Finish- warm baking spices, the rye comes back a bit on the finish with some mint.

Nose- tasted oak, hints of smoke, toffee, burnt sugar, roasted peanut shells, Taste- spicey sweet, some rye, roasted peanut, orange rind, plastic phenolic, spikes of black pepper, toasted oak, Finish- more plastics, rinds, sweet sugars Lot going on here. Had more notes but lost the review. It's def wild turkey turned up and really liked it

Nose- spicey rye and phenol with sweet brown sugars, burnt sugars, toasted oak, roasted salty peanut shells Taste-astringent oak and phenol plastics, cinnamon, peanuts, tanned leathers, spicy, black pepper spikes, it's a bit oily, major maybe some orange rind

Nose- Soft smoke, slightly salty, hints of sweetness like fruits, malty yeasts. Some iodine. Taste- buttery brine with some malty cereal. Earthy and smoke mix with sweet dessert spices. Surprised how much the malt comes through. . Lot less influence of the px cask than I would expect. This is buttery bread, grilled over a campfire by the sea with only hints of grilled peaches and fruit Finish- more wood on the finish than I tasted before. Oak. Some bitterness with the sweet like smoked meats. Still briny. Medium long finish. Overall really pleasant, good bottle. I might lean toward the in your face notes of the .2 but this is still very good.
