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.

Smooth and dry sherry. Short and slightly woody finish. Easy to drink, but not a lot of depth.

Mellow and chewy, that builds up to a big spicy beast. A little creamy. Something to enjoy as a single and not more.

Mouth coating. White chocolate and a little lemon. Coffee and maple syrup. Medium long finish. Maybe a hint of white pepper.

Smooth and a red wine twang. Finish is short to medium and a little sweet and woody.

Ash, a little honey and mezcal. Finish is ash and smoke. Needs a few drops of water, which makes the aftertaste a wee bit creamy.

Spicy and herbal. A little sweet with a woody finish. Much closer to a whisky than most rums

The official tasting notes on the website state "graham cracker, pound cake, plum, and thin mints await," and I agree with all of that, though the flavors are very subtle. Smooth and easy to sip.

Sherry and leather. A bit musky with a medium long and really woody finish.

Apple, fruity, and a little sweet. A bit of a bite with a medium to long finish.

Sweet like honey and oranges, with ginger spice. Herbal and liquorice after taste that lingers long. Quite harsh, but a few drops of water makes it a little better with the ginger being much stronger. #WhiskyOfTheMonth

Creamy and thick. A little sharp still. A bit of burnt toast.

Lovely smoky whisky with great red wine hints. #WhiskyOfTheMonth

Oak, vanilla, cloves, musky. It’s good, but the complexity is muted, possibly due to the higher alcohol content.

Wow. This is a cacophony of complex flavors. Black pepper, cinnamon, allspice, apple pie, brown sugar, lemon, slightly medicinal, …

Brown sugar and maple notes. Hint of cinnamon and vanilla.

Sweet marmalade. Sugary. Orange lollipop. More like a Cointreau digestive than a gin.

Properly chewy and loads of peat. However. It doesn't overpower the sweet honey notes. Finish is long, warming, and a little woody with a nice burn from the higher ABV.

Strong and warming, yet mildly sweet and surprisingly mellow. The first whiff seemed astringent, but after letting it sit in the glass a bit, it has mellowed out.

Oak flavors with warm spiciness.

Peaty, and woody. Very woody. Maybe a little apple. Short and dry finish, perhaps a little alcoholic.

Butterscotch, creamy and some nutmeg. Woody on the short finish. Disappointing.

Sweet with vanilla and very woody. It's quite strong, and a few drops makes it quite a bit more palatable.

Honey, vanilla and chocolate. Short finish which is a little spicy.

Slightly syrupy pears

Nicely subtle peat here, not too intense which brings some nice pepper flavour through

Right out of the gate, this bourbon is hot and spicy, due to its higher than typical alcohol content. The tip of the tongue is greeted with strong cinnamon notes. Subsequent sips reveal mellow oak flavors towards the back of the tongue. Definitely more complex than standard Bulleit Bourbon.

Hints of vanilla and apple, sweet and smooth. A little ginger too.

Sweet and lemony.

Little orange flavours.

Warm. A little spicy. Has a nice bite from the alcohol.
