Tastes

First Irish whisky. Harshness that doesn't get balanced out by the peat. Unique flavours of banana and icing sugar but overall it didn't really work for me

Not overly sherry, great balance. Fun, sweet mid palate: toffee and werthers original. Short finish with fresh spirit. Best sherry cask I've had

Brilliant. Oily fruits like papaya, saltiness, bright and vague nods of peat and smokiness. Does not taste like 50%. Very enjoyable.

benchmark rye. butterscotch. full oily mouthfeel. not overly complex. great with a couple of drops of water. about right for the price.

nice sweetness and grainy flavour with a lot of character. a little bit too much sherry cask for me and heavy on the custard/nutmeg nose. spirit is a little harsh. didn't run back for more but it was a nice one to try.

well hidden peat that comes through nicely in a warm complex mid palate. fruity early. peat tastes typical highland? which is slightly disappointing and maybe doesn't compliment the other flavours. obviously high quality and very enjoyable.

spicy notes, long finish, slight liquorice strappiness. good whisky but not my type. ate with dumplings, not a great idea. slightly chemical.

marshmallow and meringue, a sweet whisky with a slight custard flavour adding some depth. the spirit is late and punchy, undermining the delicate flavours slightly. easy drinking and probably great in a cocktail but not enough complexity to really savour. adding water helped but detracted from the sweet notes.
