Tastes

The nose instantly transports you to the beach with a mild breeze. Very briny with a little bit of vanilla and grass notes. On the palet more brine and vanilla joined by honeyed cereal and a touch of fresh lemon. Quite light in taste and the finish is short but considering the price very much bang for your buck.

This is a really good combination. The butterscotch from the Jameson and creamy milk chocolate from the stout work well together and make this beter than te sum of it's parts. This also has a thicker mouthfeel than usual and the chocolate note lingers in the mouth.

Vanilla is dominant in the nose and taste in this Teeling expression too. Strong alcoholic smell and bite on the finish. On the pallet notes of red fruit but quickly overpowered by the barrelspice and the alcohol. This is a not very exciting whiskey to me reminds me of a young fruity bourbon. I liked this one the least of the Trinity pack.

Dominant vanilla in the nose and the taste with tropical fruits from the rum casks make this a sweet and easy drinkable whiskey. Prominent but not overpowering barrel spice with a little bite makes it just exciting enough to be more than just a brainless sipper. Great whiskey for fans of aged rum.

On the nose vanilla is dominant with hints of sweet fruits. On the pallet waves of different fruits roll in. First Light tastes of citrusfruits with orchardfruits and after that more heavy notes of dried- and forestfruits. The pallet is quite rich in barrelspice and alcoholic bite. Overall very interesting but a bit overpowering to me. Maybe it's one of those whiskies that take multiple tastes to really unlock. This sample felt a bit chaotic and overwhelming. The different tastes aren't really blending together well.

This was the last for me to taste from the standard 10 year and the barrel finishes, for me it holds the middle between the other three. Apart from the common vanilla and citrussy note, peach and apricot (the fresh kind not the dried kind like in the Lasanta) and a little bit of barrel spice and sweet fruit (but not as much as the quinta ruban). If you like the sweetness or the spiciness try the Quinta ruban. If you like the fruitiness or nuttiness try the Lasanta. If you like this one but you want more of the vanilla, citrus and grassy note go back to the original 10.

Pinkish in colour. Sweet red fruit, mostly strawberries. A touch of vanilla and quite a bit of barrel spice on the finish.

Raisins on a wave of vanilla toffee. Dried fruits with subtle smoke on the finish. Really nice twist on the classic glenmorangie 10!

Warming whisky fitting for the cold wintermonths with sweet spices, vanilla oak wood and orange peel with subtle smoke. For me it needed some time to open up from the upfront oakiness and spice, became more sweet after some time.

Similar flavours as the regular oloroso sherry Millstone but more rounded and not as sharp. Sweet dried fruits, baking spices, dark chocolate and charred oak.
