Vanilla and cinnamon.

A little maraschino cherry

Bit herby, hello!!

Earthy. Slightly sweet.

Quite heavy on the peat. A little honey. A drop of water brings out a little more sweetness.

Sweet and mellow. With sweet sherry tones. Fairly fruity and a longish finish which gets a little herbal. Perhaps some white pepper.

Smooth and fruity. Hints of white pepper on the finish. A few drops of water it's a little fruitier.

Sweet, but a big rough.

Smooth and fruity. With dark sugar or maple syrup, and some ginger hints. A little dry sherry too.

A little rough, likely due to its young age. Vanilla, leather, and smokey tea. Medium finish. A few drops of water improves it, and brings out a little more sweetness.

Smooth, quite sweet, and distinctly oaky.

Wow. Sherry punches through, raisins, christmas cake, cherry. Sweet, but still boozy.

Quite sweet, but also peaty. A little vanilla and maybe orange peel.

A bit harsh without a little water. With a splurge, there is white pepper and marshmallows.

Warm and fairly sweet. Rye and caramel.

Vanilla cake, a little creamy. Short finish though.

Very drinkable. Lovely smooth flavour.

Underwhelming. Can't even actually pick out a flavour beyond this. Maybe a hint of grassy. Very clear too.

Harsh, and medicinal. Definitely better after a few drops of water. Maybe some raisins. Finish is long. And a little oaky.

Smokey but also it's quite subtle. I don't really get much else. Not even after a drop of water.

Fruity. Candied orange. It's a little on the young and rough side. A spritz of water mellows it and you get a bit of grassy undertones.

It's ridiculously dark red. Flavours are vanilla, red berries and slightly aniseed. Sweet and fruity, with some sherry undertones. But the Oloroso hogs head finish has mostly gone to the colour.

Sweet and peppery.

Oaky and malty, but doesn't linger

Caramel marzipan with a touch of fruity rakia

#empty Kept this one for a while, but finished this last bit with my Dad, it's his favourite ❤️

Quite balanced, very drinkable, but not the most exciting.

Fruity with coconut. Short finish with some cinnamon. Very light and fresh, but also not very punchy.

Smokey, peppery, with dark fruits. Long finish. It's also fairly rough, due to its high ABV. A sprits of water improves that a little.

A mellow whisky without any character. Good for making cocktails with, but certainly not neat.

It might have mellowed a little over the years. But still hints of raisins and dried candied fruits.

A bit bland

Fairly sweet and earthy. Orange zest. A few drops of water brings out more of the sweetness.

Peaches, caramel, a little salt, but smooth

OMG! So good! Vanilla, fig, smooth.

A moderately rough and peaty whisky. But also smooth and fairly sweet. A nice, but unassuming dram for a cold autumn evening. The finish is medium long and earthy.

It's ridiculously dark. Sweet and syrup. Very cloyey. It's also fairly fruity with dark fruits. A few spritzes of water tunes down the harshness a little.

Very good, but not close to Hakushu 18.

Proper chewy and smokey. It's also a little fruity with hints of vanilla. The finish is medium long and fairly rounded.

Buttery and fruity. Orange peel and a little vanilla. Medium aftertaste with oak and earthiness.

A little sweet and vanilla. Fairly fresh with summer berries.

Creamy and fruity. Hints of sweat madeira on the short to medium finish.

Lovely and smooth 👍

Spicy eye, with cherries and a little caramel and vanilla. Long finish. A little water smooths off the rough edges a little. Should try with ice too.

Fairly smooth, but with hints of marmalade and white pepper.

Lovely malty biscuity taste, nutty and oaky.

Honey, smoked paprika, and finishing with a slow cinnamon and white pepper hint

Fairly young. Sweet, but not much developed yet. Hints of sweetness and grass.

Very sweet with sherry syrup. Some vanilla and earthiness.

Some aniseed, and smoke. Definitely needs water. After that, still punchy, but some vanilla.

Juicy fruits, pineapple and vanilla. Finish is medium short with more vanilla and coconut.

Sherry notes, but quite harsh from alcohol without water. Vanilla and some herbal flavours after a few drops of water.

Buttery with vanilla on the palate. Finish has hints of white pepper.

A little dram for Robbie. Wine gums, whipped cream, and creme brulee

So delicious! Almost out of this one.

On the nose: really nice tropical fruits with nice subtle coconut. On the palate neat: subtle smoke and oakyness spice. On palate with water: few drops of water really brings out the tokai, smokiness is still there as is the oakyness. Finish is long with a hint of cooking spice

Light and a little grassy. Definitely cognac tones. But a little lacklustre. Short finish.

Rich and sweet. Rum raisins. A little hint of speculoos spices.

Not very deep, but I do clearly taste the vanilla and it's very smooth.

Light and citrus. Hints of crisp green apple. Short finish, slightly tasting of sultanas.

Light, with hints of vanilla, crisp apple, and a little sweetness. After taste is a little medicinal and minty. A few drops of water brings out a little lemon. But quite a young whisky.

Toffee and ginger on the nose. Quite oaky on the palate with a hint of toffee apple, warming finish that lingers

Marmelade and rose on the palate. A short finish of milk chocolate. Fresh, with hints of earl grey tea.

Pear and sherries. Hints of ginger and caramel in the finish. Long lasting. A few drops of water brings out some white pepper.

Fairly spicy. A little too much alcohol hit on first contact.

Buttery vanilla in both flavour and medium long finish.

Quite sweet, with some red wine hints. Berries, honey, and creamy caramel. Little cinnamon spice in the short finish.

Creamy. And of course sherry. A bit peppery in the medium long finish.

Very smooth, and a little oaky. Vanilla and some raisins. Medium long finish.

Dark dried fruits, and fairly spicy. Long finish of white pepper and some more heat, but also sweetness. A little water reduces the sweetness and I wouldn't recommend adding it.

Smooth and buttery. Not overly characteristic, but a crowd pleaser.

Salty and seaweed. Short finish.

Pretty interesting whiskey with an unique flavor… but not my favorite

Probably my favorite whiskey ever and definitely my go to at home

This is the smoothest whiskey I’ve ever tried… it tastes like tea with a kick. And yet… will have again and bought a bottle

Light and honey. Medium long grassy finish. Nothing spectacular but nice enough.

Quite sweet, honey and vanilla. Short finish, and a little creamy. A little disappointing.

Quite harsh without water. Vanilla, caramel, and orange. A few drops of water improves it. Long lingering finish.

A little rough, with sultanas and butterscotch vanilla. A little salty in the finish. A few drops of water neutralises the roughness.

Pepper and smoke. Long salty finish of tar and bitter chocolate

Fruity and lemons. Medium long finish of honey.

Honey, a little of salted caramel.

Fairly right of colour. Peppery and a lot of fire. A little vanilla and honey.

Chewy sweetish toffee on the palate. Peppery and spicy finish.

A little watery, but with honey and orange. The finish is short with hints of vanilla.

Delicious!

A little rough, but with honey and a little herby.

Cheese cake. Some coconut and mango. Finish is short to medium with hints of raspberries and Scottish tablet

Smooth, vanilla and honey. Medium long finish with grains and a little punchy.

Very smooth, easy to drink. Nice taste of vanilla, but otherwise lacks some depth.

Coconut and white pepper. Creamy. Long burnish finish of wood. A few spritzes of water make it a little more smooth.

On the nose: sweet caramel or toffee notes, nice lightly toasted oak. Further sweetness like green apple or pear. A all year round bourbon to enjoy. And one to enjoy in the great outdoors. This bourbon is extremely limited but highly recommended if you are in the US to bring home with you.

Earthy and white pepper finish. Cream and wine gums flavour, perhaps like a burned cream. A few drops of water brings out a little more sweetness.

Packs a punch, and it's very sherry. Fruity and nutty. Long finish, spicy, and woody.

A little harsh at full strength. After a dozen drops of water, it's a spicey, creamy, and butter scotch combination with a long lingering gingery finish.

Fairly sweet with some dry sherry hints. Medium lingering raisony finish.

NOSE A bold scent of fruits with a touch of sweet vanilla. TASTE Creamy toffee, sweet fruit and spice roll over the tongue. FINISH A warming smoky finish.

Quite simple flavours, but not bad. Hints of vanilla. Medium long finish.

Quite harsh and a little sweet. Orangy and creamy. Medium long finish which is a little grassy.

Oily and piney on the palate. A little crystallised sugar. Finish is long with coffee, a little medicinal, and choc orange. It's a little harsh. A few drops of water does nothing.

Orangey. Medium long finish of sweet syrup, which is a little sticky too. It has a little bite. A few drops of water does not do anything.

Warm and mellow, perhaps a little sweet like butterscotch. Creamy. Finish is smoke and more smoke, a little medicinal, and lingers very long.

Pears and syrup, and some almonds. Ginger and nutmeg medium long finish.

Very dark. Dark sweet demarera sugar. Brandy raisins, and a hint of chilli. A couple of drops of water brings out some chocolate, and a little more chilli. Long lingering finish with hints of sherry.

Oaky. Sweet and smoke. A little bit shallow. Medium finish of peat.

Smooth and simple. Vanilla with a tiny bit of white pepper. Creamy. Shortish finish.

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.

Very robust. Quite strong.

Scottish tablet and fruit on the palate. Finish is a little peppery, with creamy chocolate and some blueberries.

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.
