Tastes

Better than Lustau or 12. Peppery, caramel, smooth lingering finish.

Mediocre and overpriced

Fine, but overpriced. A great bottle at half the price.

Hot. Tons of leather. Solid at the price point. Aberlour 12 is very different, but better.

Excellent. Long, peppery finish with a gently sweet complexity.

This is a huge improvement on the OG Green Spot, to the point that it beggers belief that the only difference is a Zinfandel barrel. Macallan-but-more vibes here. Less brown sugar, bourbon-y notes. But there's so much more floral character instead that it's an easy trade. Bourbon is still there, it's just not as single-note. It's no Redbreast 15, but it goes up very well against Yellow Spot.

Good. Nice bourbon notes only slightly muted by the sherry. Solid spice. Zinfandel cask version adds a lot. But this is good stuff.

It's delicious if someone else is buying and there's nothing better at a pretentious ass bar. Sweet, delicate, and boring.

Very little. Very delicate. Nice, but tastes watered down. Should have released this at cask strength.

It's a Talisker base with fruity notes from the port on top. Makes a ton of sense. Delicious. But overpriced and ultimately not as good as just buying a Talisker. Especially the Distiller's Edition.
