Tastes

Nose is red apple, coconut oil, vanilla, and a hint of tobacco. Palate is slightly sweet dark fruit and granola, smooth drinking with a pleasant alcohol warmth.

Nose was acetone at first, resolving into rum raisin tarts and perfumy wood lacquer. Maybe cherry cola (allspice notes specifically)? Palate opens with a burst of wood spice, followed by honey sweetness with a touch of dark chocolate-like bitterness on the finish. The wood impact lingers, though the mouthfeel on drinking doesn’t strike as super enveloping.

Banana and light molasses on the nose. Brown sugar, cooked stone fruit, pear, and toasted malt on the palate. Not sure I can pick out the peat impact, but it all comes together to an approachable but satisfying dram.

Acetone, darrrk maple syrup, and molasses dominate the potent ethanol-heavy nose. Maple and spice carry through on the palate. Subtle liquorice and vanilla come through with a bit of added water, slightly buttery but not super dense or oily in mouthfeel.

Bright pear, apple, coconut, and shortbread cookie on the nose. Vanilla and caramel joins on the palate, followed by a beautifully balanced brine and earthy smoke. Such a pleasant ballet of sweet fruit and alluring peat.

Definitely scotch-like on the nose and palate, though its youth shows. Subtle with a bit of cereal on the palate, but not flat and uninteresting.

Smooth and sweet, nice notes of blackberry. Very drinkable!

Quite nice for such a young drink, a bit bright and spiky though. Hints of cereals and spice.

Smooth balance of smoke and dark fruit notes. Very nice!
