Tastes

Received as part of a blind tasting. My notes: Colour 1.6 - Mahogany, nose has sherry and nuttiness suggesting an Oloroso finish. Palate is a surprise, expected a sherry finished scotch and it feels more like a sweet corn whisky. It is a lovely sipper. A-

Received as part of a blind tasting. My notes: Colour 1.3 - russet. What the heck is going on here? Nose has roots, earthiness, grass, hay and almost eucalyptus. Complex nose but not in a good way.

Received as part of a blind testing. My notes: Colour 0.7 - amber, nose is fruit and Speyside sweetness, hints of green apple and floral notes with a touch of malt - Glenlivet-like (but not Glenlivet as there is no colouring). Palate has spice and pepper but some sweetness and fruit notes. An ultra light hint of smoke? Finish is medium, B-. (Followed with Johnnie Walker Green, now I don’t get any smoke and it isn’t as good as green.)

Peppery finish, get floral notes, beautiful balance of heathered peat and wine, great one, would buy.

A WTF nose, all smoke and bbq, the Mezcal dominates everything, no hint on Canadian on the nose, the palate is all smoke and agave, unique and very interesting.

Corn sweetness and young on the nose, but palate and finish is better. Hints of fruit and spice, a nice bourbon.
