— Smoky, smoky, smoky. Wonderful flavors! Some of which I have no words for. Add a little water to extenuate flavor, which will bring out the undertones of fruit. Non-chill filtered and no carmel added on this one. Great stuff!
— Oily rich flavour with citrus and vanilla. Lovely dram
— Nose of smoked cherry with a beautiful light finish. I love sherry casks, so this is right up my alley. Lovely.

Craig,
Oily rich flavour with citrus and vanilla. Lovely dram
Daniel,
Finish is a little on the too-spicy side, but good dram otherwise
Josh,
A bold smoky sweet flavor.
Stephen,
Love the sweetness in this one. Leaves a sweet hickory taste in your mouth long after.
Daniel,
The whisky is a pale straw color. It leaves an oily slick on the sides of the glass, only eventually forming a few thick legs. On the first nosing I got slammed with strong phenols and not much else. I let it sit in the glass for a while and the phenols faded, revealing strong florals and smoke. I had to taste this at full strength, being the strongest dram I've ever tried. Surprisingly, there was some light sweetness like a light syrup before the smoke kicked in and the alcohol burned up my taste buds. The finish was very strong and very peaty.
After a couple of sips I added a bit of water to tame it down. The water brought out the floral notes and some rye-like spice on the palate. Combined with the sweetness and the smoke it was not bad at all, the smoke being reminiscent of a BBQ. The finish was still smoky just not so strong.
