9.1

Nose: dark dried fruits a la plums, raisins, and dark cherries, pungent oloroso sherry molasses-esque sweetness, spiced honey and toasted caramel. Quite sharp at the cask strength 60.1%. A bit of water cuts the numbing sharpness, and brings out the dark fruit and honey elements as well as the musty (in a good way) oloroso sherry notes. A very distinct orange ginger coffee cake aroma emerged with the addition of water as well.
Mouthfeel/body: very full and silky, viscous. Good tingle at cask strength. Not quite as viscous after the addition of water (obviously), but maintains its body and silky character.
Palate: More dark cherries, raisins, spiced dried fruit, cinnamon, more pungent molasses oloroso notes. A bit of water cuts the numbing sharpness of the cask strength alcohol volume and opens up the dark dried fruits notes and pungent sherry notes, as well as more spice.
Conclusion: Great whisky with plenty complexity and character for the price. Tastes a bit young and spirit-y at cask strength but since I typically cut it with a tiny splash of water, this hasn't been much of an issue. — 10 years ago

Toasty dark gold.
Unmistakeable smoky bushfire nose with some underlying sweetness.
Mouth filling, rich warm spirit with incredibly long dry smoky finish, lasting minutes with mild burn.
Epic — 11 years ago

My very favorite spirit, I toast to the scottsman who introduced me to grapes (and friends) made right. Today, friends I am promoted... Cheers. This mouth is subtle, hints of cherries and smooth.... — 10 years ago

One of my favourites at the moment, not a port finish, spent a full 11 years in port casks. Peat (this is a peated Springbank) and port doesn't always work, but here it works well. Quite intense peat and port flavours at 51%, excellent. — 10 years ago

Sublime and as mellow as any Scotch Ive ever tasted. Persistent, smoky and delicate nose to finish. Color looks more like Anejo tequila. Nose: vanilla, profound smoke, peat, earth and a simplicity and completeness that belies its complexity and depth. The most symmetric spirit I've ever tasted. I'm not a peat fan, but it's so integrated it's just a portion of the depth and flavor. Death bed scotch! — 10 years ago

The blend of 16 year old and 6 year old just works. It has a touch of sweetness that aides the power of it and makes it feel so integrated. The nose is a delight. For 33.00 this is the best whiskey you can find. A real treat. Buy love it. — 10 years ago
