Tastes

I personally think this is the best sherry finished whisky for the money. Nothing comes close in the price range how rounded out all the flavors taste.

Tastes like a big brother to Ardbeg 10. Lots of lemon. A little water actually does something amazing to this and I never usually water down. When I brought it to around 46% it tastes so close to one of my favorite Japanese whiskies, Hakushu 12 year. I start getting the pear and light peat. That makes me very happy since the Hakushu is hard to find now and I am down to half a bottle. So, I am now pleasantly surprised. My new favorite Islay, especially bottled at 50%.

The best god damn liquid in a bottle. Like a tire fire on the beach, and I love it.

It's great. It's a nice in between Lagavulin and Ardbeg. Good gateway drug for peat.

Earthy. Ash smoky. Quite different than the 16 year. I like it. It's rough and that is my kind of whisky. Especially for 35 dollars less.
