Still an awesome winter whisky. Sadly, it's no longer made and this bottle is also getting empty. #BurnsNight

The Haggis!

Sherry and plums. Long warmish finish with fruits.

Sweet and creamy. A little floral. Long peaty finish.

Honey and fruit. Light but complex. Without water a bit burny. A drop of two cuts that out and leaves just the flavour.

Clear, silky and smooth. With a little vanilla and orange peels. Easy to drink but lacking some character. Water does not improve it, but instead just provides dilution.

Red wine, and a little orange. A little chewy finish, maybe a bit harsh. With a bit of water it's a little milder.

Chewy and smoky. Warm with some vanilla. Needs a little water to bring out some orangey flavours.

Chewy lemon. Caramel and little cognac in the longish finish. #WhiskyAdvent

Quite smooth, but it has a bite due to the higher ABV. A little creamy and chewy. A little water brings out a few more earthy tones.

Chewy and lemon, finish has a little caramel and white chocolate. Needs a spritz of water.

Sweet and smooth, but spicy. Good for sipping.

I'm usually not a fan of smokey, but it's subtle enough that it really compliments the whisky.

Cranberry and Rose, with berries and a little smoke in the finish. Quite fruity. Some water takes down the rose a little, but it's still a little rough.

Oat and prawns. Finish is medium long with chorizo spices and smokey. With a bit of water it's a little creamier and three is a hint of apples in the still very smokey, and a little medicinal, finish.

Pears, a little creamy. A touch spice.

Spicy with hints of orange. Not overly sweet.

Old fashioned and banana bread. Finish is toffee, rum, and raisin, and creamy. A few drops of water brings out a little spiciness.

Fairly smooth on palate. Toast and butter, apple pie. Finish is medium long with raisins in rum.

Vanilla and caramel, a little smokey. Needs a drop of water. Not a very long finish.

Sweet with vanilla. Fairly harsh. Medium finish. Water does not improve it.

Peat and heat. Buttery and grassy after a bit it water.

Pink coloured, rhubarb and custard. Sweet and thick. Lingering flavour.

Sweet but of white rum. Not oodles of character or flavour. Hints of tropical notes.

Nose: brioche buns and sweet honeyed pears very soft. Pallet: sweet honey pears to begin with turning to the bite of bourbon, the virgin American Oak brings through the tanin. Finish is short very short but nice oilyness to coat your mouth.

Very woody. Smooth, and sweet. A hint of orange.

Orange sweet.

Smooth, not very flavourful, and a little boring.

Easy to drink, not a super distinguishing taste, but nice nonetheless.

Y ddraig goch! A little smokey, quite clean, and a little medicinal. Medium long finish.

Simple, smooth, and fairly sweet. Easy to drink. Vanilla, and coconut. Finish has a little citrus and spice.

Raisins, date, and buttery. Finish is medium, with caramel.

Not very lively, but ok flavour. Nose is honey, with a touch of TCP. Palette, pine, light sweetness, with a bitter peat. Short finish. A reasonable day to day dram, not bad for 25 quid.

Warm and thick. Sherry, demarera sugar.

Light, and hints of sherry. Red fruits, and a little peppery on the medium finish.

Simple, a little sherry. There isn't much to it.

A little rough. Cream and raspberries on the palate. Dark chocolate and grassy in the longish finish.

Fresh grass and honey. Finish is a little peppery.

On the nose. This is sherry upfront like a sherry bomb, behind the sherry sweetness comes dried fruits almost like candied berries. Also a vanillin fudge. Back of the nose a nice woodyness. Very welcoming. On the pallate. Wood spice upfront not overpowering into the Pedro Ximénez sweetness. After comes a nuttiness very close to walnuts. That then leads to the finish, which carries the oiliness of walnut. Bringing a oak spice back forward to a warm long dry finish. Definitely one to try or add to the collection.

Quite bitey due to high ABV. Citrus, a hint of ginger and some speculoos spices.

Bit watery, drinkable though.

Quite creamy, but a little rough in the finish. Good hints of sherry, and a little woody. Not very complex.

Lemon and fresh chilly, with some olive saltiness. Finish is pickled ginger and a little lemon drizzle.

Spicy. Smooth. MGP makes good rye, and Oak & Eden adds a charred oak spire to it. Interesting.

Tasty!

Harsh, smokey. Hints of vanilla, behind the smoke. Warming and slightly salty finish.

Sweet, smokey.

One of the best regular drinking ryes I’ve had. Super smooth on a single ice cube. When neat, has a nice oak barrel character.

Batch 1, a blend of 4 year and 7 year ryes from MGP. Spicy. Cinnamon. A bit too hot. Nothing special.

Sweet and sherry and some red wine notes. Finish is fairly short.

Fruity, a lot of vanilla, light molasses

Brandy snaps, sweet rummy molasses, a touch of salt

Vanilla and a hint of citrus. Cinnamon and toffee in the finish.

Nose: Vanilla and oak wood Palate: Vanilla and light spice Finish: Slightly peppery but short finish Overall: A very easy to drink whiskey and very reasonably priced

Salty and ripe bananas. Warm rum finish, with some smoke and a little juicy.

Apples and vanilla, quite delicate on the palate. Big bold long meaty finish with pepper tones and burned peat.

This is one of my favorite ryes so far. Excellent flavor from a blend of 3 straight ryes, aged 3, 6, and 10.

Smooth. Caramel. Cinnamon.

A bit of apple crumble. Hints of sweetness. Quite pleasant but not intense flavour.

Toast to lost love ones tonight 🥃

Robust. Hints of fruits. Fairly peppery.

Smooth and full of fruits and cheery toffee. Finish is long with vanilla and burned sugar.

Vanilla, salted caramel and a hint of pepper. Finish is drying with cinnamon and grapes. Hint of sherry too. #WhiskyOfTheMonth

Quite woody and mellow. A little sweet and hints of vanilla. Finish is medium long and a little grassy.

Colour. Nice golder Amber in the glass. On the nose. First thing you get on the nose is subtle smoke from the charing of the barrel, moving to dark dried fruits, like raisins or sultanas. Then to spice like a cinnamon or nutmeg. On the palate. Is again that bit of smoke the dark dried fruits come in like Christmas cake especially with that cinnamon spice. The finish is a medium finish with the spice lingering. Surprisingly this liquid is light for a double distilled blend. It's 70% grain 30% malt.

Subtle smoke, at 66-67% lots of flavours carried over after the ethenol passes. On the nose muscavado suger cookies, lots of vanilla going on as its single Cask. On the pallet instant vanilla bean moments bringing you onto nice caramel fudge. Before coming to nice spice. Finish is long sweet and spicy.

Nose: brown sugar / caramel with a slight spice and hints of vanilla. Mouth: brown sugar and chocolate with cherries Finish: lingers with plenty of clove and just a hint of smoke.

Lemon and toffee. Some citrus. Finish is toffee, creamy vanilla, with clotted cream.

Grapefruit, nuts, and some other citrus fruits. Finish is fresh with pineapple.

Spice. Cinnamon and peppercorns. Slight hint of cocoa. Not much of what I call “barrel flavor.” Smooth, drinkable, and delicious.

Peppery and cinnamon. Kiwi. Finish is creamy honeycomb and chocolate. A few drops of water makes it a little sweeter but the cinnamon still stays lingering.

Honey and caramel. A little spice. Finish of salted popcorn.

This is intense. Caramel, herbal, and liquorice riots. A sadly only got a tiny sample.

Light, and sherry-ish. A little creamy and peppery in the finish.

Woody and vanilla sweetness. Some fruits and berries, with a medium long peppery and herbal finish.

Sherry and vanilla. It's quite woody and has a fairly short finish. It's alright, but there is not a lot of character to it.

Warm and oranges. Finish is a little pepery. At cask strength it has too much bite. With a few drops of water a few new flavours such as butterscotch and a few herbal notes come out.

Sweet orange, hints of chocolate, and a long woody finish. A few drops of water hide some of the alcohol sharpness and the flavours come out a tiny bit more.

Smooth, and syrupy cinnamon. Quite chewy with a long finish of spices and toffee. #WhiskyOfTheMonth

Creamy and peaty. It packs a proper punch and has a long lasting peppery finish. With a few drops of water the flavour shows more orange, and a few herbal notes.

Creamy! Apple pie. Finish is gingery and pineapple

Treacle, dry spices, and sherry. Finish is long, and like Christmas cake with cream. #WhiskyOfTheMonth

A little boring. Smooth. And a little spicy. I'd prefer the Scottish stuff.

Peaty, but otherwise uninteresting. #empty

Sweet and vanilla. Medium finish which is a little grassy.

Smooth and with quite some oomph. I prefer it with a few drops of water.

Light, sweet, with creamy citrus. Medium finish which is a little spicy.

Sweetish vanilla. And oh so smokey and peaty. Maybe a little too much. Medium long finish.
