Derick Rethans
Grapefruit, nuts, and some other citrus fruits. Finish is fresh with pineapple.
Ben Ramsey
Spice. Cinnamon and peppercorns. Slight hint of cocoa. Not much of what I call “barrel flavor.” Smooth, drinkable, and delicious.
Derick Rethans
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.
Derick Rethans
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.
Is this a Cadenhead's?

Loads of sherry. A bit vanilla and woody in the finish.

Quite subtle, but full of character. Butterscotch and apple, almost like an apple crumble.

Derick Rethans
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.
Derick Rethans
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.
Derick Rethans
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
Derick Rethans
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.

Lightly caramel but mostly peat and peat. But there are other more subtle hints of crisp apple and some medicinal flavours in the medium long finish.

A bit underwhelming, but easy to drink. Caramel. And a bit creamy.

I can taste some fruits, although I can't really identify what it is myself, but it appears to be peaches.

Chewy, but sweet with good hints of sherry. Pepper and ginger in the longish finish. Maybe a little oaky too. Definitely a autumn/winter whisky.

Spicy and herbal. A little sweet with a woody finish. Much closer to a whisky than most rums
Ben Ramsey
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.
Derick Rethans
Sherry and leather. A bit musky with a medium long and really woody finish.
Derick Rethans
Apple, fruity, and a little sweet. A bit of a bite with a medium to long finish.

Thin and simple. Slight hints of sherry only. Uncomplex and unimpressive.
Derick Rethans
Sweet and butterscotch. A little tangy oak. A hint of dark berries.
Derick Rethans
Woody, and sweetish. A little fruity which comes out a little better after a few drops if water. I wouldn't add water again though.

Sweet, smokey, with vanilla. Quite subtle, but a little harsh. That gets better with a few drops of water.

Summer in a bottle. Fruity orange and vanilla. Finish is medium with medicinal tones and banana. A drop of water improves on the harshness of the high ABV.

White pepper and banana. Medium long finish of herbs and garlic.
James Titcumb
Deep, complex, rich. Mmmmm.

Without water quite harsh due to high ABV. Caramel and spices. Butterscotch and the finish of white pepper and kiwi comes out better with a few drops of water. #whiskyofthemonth

Derick Rethans
Lovely smoky whisky with great red wine hints. #WhiskyOfTheMonth
Ben Ramsey
Oak, vanilla, cloves, musky. It’s good, but the complexity is muted, possibly due to the higher alcohol content.
Ben Ramsey
Wow. This is a cacophony of complex flavors. Black pepper, cinnamon, allspice, apple pie, brown sugar, lemon, slightly medicinal, …
Ben Ramsey
Brown sugar and maple notes. Hint of cinnamon and vanilla.
Derick Rethans
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.
Ben Ramsey
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.

Indeed. It's not the best whisky ever, but it's partly aged in barrels that carried stout. There is an IPA version too, which is IMO not worth it.

Floral light but bursting with summer light fruits. Blueberries, raspberries.
