Tastes

Cask MO100625014A, aged 5 years approx 10-11 months. Great stuff with notes of butterscotch, tropical fruit, chocolate, figs, raisins, sultanas, coffee, and a little spice.

Cask PT268. The best Penderyn from the Penderyn drammers club event. This is currently aged 3 years in buffalo trace barrels and 3 further years in a port barrel that once held an amazing port wine and is still maturing. This cask sample is great with notes of chocolate, vanilla, strawberries, raspberries, jam, raisins, citrus, barley, and spices.

One of the tops from drammers club Penderyn and Single Cask Nation. Very tropical with lots of passion fruit alongside vanilla, caramel, citrus, orange, and pepper.

Best of the night in a drammers club Penderyn and Single Cask Nation joint event. This has a very interesting history as a group of people decided to swim around Islay for charity and carried a quarter cask around with them, filling the cask with liquid from all Islay distilleries. Some include 10 year Kilchoman Bourbon Cask, 17 year triple distilled Bruichladdich, 23 year Bowmore Pedro Ximenez casks, 10 year Lagavulin first Fill sherry casks, 15-17 year Douglas Laing laphroaig, 25 year Bunnahabhain, and Kilchoman Sauternes cask. The liquid is great with notes of vanilla, chocolate, caramel, peat, smoke, salt, and raspberries.

Very nice dram with notes of chocolate, raspberry, cherry, vanilla, pepper, raisins, a little orange/citrus, floral notes, and a palate full of chocolate, cherry, raisin, and caramel infused cigar smoke. Not as good as the 18 imo but enjoyable nonetheless. Would be interesting to see how the king Alexander stacks up.

Lovely with notes of chocolate, coffee, orange, raisins, toffee, vanilla, and Christmas spices.

Nice delectable smooth stuff with notes of vanilla, salted caramel, peach, citrus, mango, banana, pineapple, cotton candy, cereal, pot still spices, and white chocolate. Not on redbreast Cask Strength/redbreast 21/Midleton Barry Crockett/Midleton Dair Ghaelach level but top notch nonetheless
