Tastes

This is a gift from above. Nose is oaky, with wood varnish, earthy, corn syrup, spicy, seasoning herbs, sweaty horse blanket, olives. Complex and keeps changing in the glass when you give it time. Perfectly smooth and velvety on the palate. Caramel, peaches in syrup, apricots, grape skins and a touch of mint. Layers upon layers of beauty.

Grassy, herbal, olives, oily and leathery on the nose. Quite elegant. And it goes along well with the smooth and velvety palate. Notes of agave, yellow fruit, vanilla, coconut, spices and peppery. Easy drinking.

Exquisite whiskey with unusual notes brought together by the ageing on brazilian indigenous wood barrels. Quite rustic on the nose, with wood varnish, tree sap, tropical fruit and exotic spices. Flavors of succulent papaya, mango, baking spices, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon.

Nice expressive nose. Earthy, mellow peatiness, oil, petrol, fresh herbs, pears and grapeskins. Quite a few things going on. Silky texture and mouthfeel. Fruit sweetness, white grapes, melon, light agave flavors and spicy/vegetable bitterness at the tail end.

Nutty nose, complemented by tobacco leaves, leather, buttery and shortbread biscuit notes. Palate is smooth and fruit-sweet with apricots, honey, caramel, spicy, peppery character.

I really dig this. Amazing complexity. Smoky, peaty, leather, tobacco, olives, oil, seasoning herbs, oregano and thyme aromas. Viscous and silky texture. So smooth. The savory-oriented aromas brilliantly clash with the sweet flavors. Grapes, peaches, oranges, biscuit, honey and spicy notes on the palate.

Enticing nose of red berries, wood varnish, tobacco, nutty, wood and spicy. Quite peppery and prickly with a tiny bit of harshness. On the palate, lovely dark fruit jam, toffee, spicy and coffee flavors.

Nice and summery Macallan. Nose floral, citrus fruit, pineapple, quince in syrup, wood spice, cigar box, tobacco leaves notes and a leathery touch. Nice and freshly pastoral. Smooth and velvety texture. No upfront heat. Delicate and elegant. Palate opens up with oaky, vanilla, agave, light yellow fruit notes with an oily butter brioche aftertaste.

This is beautifully smooth and aromatic. Elegant leathery, smoky, chocolate and nutmeg aromas. Creamy and velvety texture with citrus notes and baking spices. Take your time with it. This is criminally good.

Citrus, herbaceous, spicy, floral.
