Tastes

as a long time fan of JW black, I was surprised at the subtle flavor of this scotch. 95% of the flavor and nose are from Cragganmore, one of my favorites, 4% is the talisker with hints of smoke, and 1 % is the Caol lla which is brings sweet, medicinal, and fog if it were a flavor. as much as i love all the malts in this blend, i do miss the campfire boldness of the Black.

honey, cereal forward on the taste with short, semi- dry finish. light on the fruit flavor. At first it reminded me more of a scotch finished in sherry casks. The more I drank, the more a young bourbon came out. Finally got cinnamon on the aftertaste. My palate has been off lately

my favorite everyday drink. great proof without overwhelming. lots of dark cherry, nuttiness, caramel dream. i'll always have this in my collection

I don't usually seek out and drink flavored whiskey but this one peaked my curiosity. It's like a spoon full of peanut butter with a shot of sweetener and drop of alcohol. It's not for everyone and it's not really for me either. I do look forward to finding other uses for it. First, I'll try it on vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Then, I'll try a shot of it in an amber or stout beer. It's a novelty and I'll use as just that.

dark and oaky like sleeping in a forgotten barrel. heavy spice of old, wet oak. a flash of peanut in the cinnamon red hot finish

better than most if you prep your palate. unique flavor of black tea, vanilla frosting, maybe some mint. not sure of the mashbill but it tastes like there's rye. when my taste is off, i don't find it remarkable. always good to come back to it to remind myself why i fell in love

not a flavor bomb like the barrel proof but still a good nightly drink. I hated this when i popped the cork for all the things it couldn't be. bookers, EC BP, noahs mills etc. On its on, its a little nutty (thank you HH), caramel, vanilla i.e. typical bourbon flavors. On my mission to finish open bottles, I'm enjoying this EC for what it is and not what I want it to be. i should rewatch this premiere of Marvelous mrs maisel because elijah craig has F***ed me up

this old friend has been with me for several years now. It's been overlooked for newer and more american whiskey stars as I explored the realm of bourbon. Tonight, I say goodbye to this sweet gem. It's gentle flavor is like sipping honey while salt spray from the ocean makes a subtle appearance in your glass. If you could taste the color gold, this would be it. My tastes have outgrown this tame liquid but I will remember it fondly after finishing the last of the bottle while watching the vicar of dibley

cinnamon on the nose and cinnamon and peanut on the palate. The spiciness reminds me of rye. Medium finish. Water tampers down the spice and all the interesting flavor
