Tasting Notes

First Tasted at Meeting No. 48 in June 2016
 •  4.5

Pleasent soft whiskey nose, floral carmel sweet mouth, balanced and smooth. Excellent finish with light vanilla fruit.

 •  4.0

The character and warming strength of the spirit is impressive. Sweet vanilla of The oak is right up front with toffee. There is a fruit flavor in the middle.

 •  4.0

Soft and slightly sweet malty nose with orange and chocolate. Imminently drinkable. There's never a bad time to drink something like this. Unpeated Islay is gem.

 •  4.0

Moist, tropical fruit and apricots. There's a light citrus, earthiness, and sheet cake.

 •  4.0

Carmel sweetness. Similarities to Ardbeg iterations. Can drink a lot of this. Flask open, by fireside, fish in my belly! Vanilla, but citrest lurks on nose.

 •  3.5

A light caramel beach smell with wood up front and a viscous feel on the tongue. Cherry/vanilla end.

 •  3.5

Light nose. Taste still has some spice, despite no peat. Chocolate, a bit of salt. Nice body, well balanced. Bears repeat sampling!

 •  3.5

Fresh sawdust nose, Creamy vanilla, oak and caramel on the tongue. Goes down the hatch like a dream!

 •  3.5

Honeysuckle and berry that lead into a well rounded and oaky dram.

 •  3.0

Worked leather, old books

 •  3.0

Sweet oaky scent with a bit of must. Delicious but not outstanding.
