Tastes

I definitely like the dripping bramble of the 18 better (the virgin oak is noticeable here without being overly dominant), but is it worth the extra $50? I think it is, but i feel most won't. This is very good, especially for the price. It gives you similar to better quality as plenty of other 15 year options that are $20-40 more.

One of the better values in all of single malt. Pure stewed apricot and peaches.

One of the better value 18 y/o's out there. Rich berry and spice. Noticeable cask influence, but not overwhelmingly so.

Definitely enjoyable, but awfully sweet.

Absolutely amazing. One of the best pours I have ever had the privilege of owning/enjoying. Citrus and light heathery smoke, beautifully interwoven.

Enjoyable, but better proofed down. Don't be afraid of a healthy water addition on this.

Undeniably enjoyable, but the value is pretty low compared to other readily available offerings from them (hello Cirdeas and 10 CS).

Binny's version with same fill date, cask type, and bottled only a few days later. Hot, but holds up to water nicely. Value is there because you just can't get anything close to integrity presentation on an OB except a one off ( and even then, it will usually have color added).

Really rich. Dried fruit and spice. Pretty sure I got this on a really good sale. The value is off the charts at that price.
