Tastes

Wow, usually when I see a high rating from a reviewer, on distiller.com, I get disappointed. It was on sale, so I decided it might as well grab it for my collection. First notes were of Smokey peat mixed with a salty brine, and a hint of bbq meat. Much like applewood bacon. I swirled the glass and looked, no veins, initially I was disappointed, but 5-10 seconds later they started trickling down. Wow! That is a beautiful sight, really oily and rich. On the palate it’s Smokey, taste of pear, or apple, on the edge, with a hint of salt. Much like bbq pears and bacon. Really smooth, not a hint of medical alcohol. Buttery mouth feel! The aftertaste is much like a bbq pear, lots of peat. Slightly sweet, and long lasting smell. Best purchase in the last year. This guy takes ardbeg uigeadail out of my first place spot, and replaces it.

Hands down my favorite whiskey, spicy, slightly sweet, taste of cherry and cinnamon. Nots quite smooth and buttery feel makes this a beautiful whiskey. You can take you pappy, just leave me Noah.

Great for the price. Notes of leather, vanilla, slight spice. Nicely balanced viscosity. Would love to keep this on the shelf.

One of my favorite bourbons. Spicy, slightly fruity, with a slight leather scent. I love this bourbon. I’ve had three different types and they have all been unique.

Spicy, and mildly harsh. A little burn, but has great vanilla scents. I really like this whiskey if I can’t find a rye on sale.

Vanilla, sweet, burn, medicinal smell. Really not for me, I bought a bottle because so many people recommended it. It wasn’t even close to many others. In my eyes it’s just like jack Daniel’s, overhyped.

Wow, Smokey and smooth. Buttery cream mouth feel. Really surprised on this one.
