Picked these up from Vena’s Fizzhouse in Portland, Maine. It was one of the ingredients in a cocktail I got called the Lumber Sexual.
I fell in love and had to get the bitters to try and recreate it at home.
Perfectly herbaceous and harmonious with a flowery, naturally sweet quality. Resinous. Love it with just club soda and a whiskey rock as pictured. — 4 years ago

What a fun find at my in-laws house. Very earthy and chocolate nose with the tiniest hint of blood orange peel (I agree with another reviewer). Still a lot of bite on this one for the age. Nice amount of funk too. Expect it will shine with food. Really impressed.
Edit to say my husband smelled Little Caesar’s bread sticks on the nose 🤣 — 4 years ago

5th in the tasting. First of the peat. Really nicely done. Not overly peaty. FYI supposedly the 12 is as good at a better price. Craziest thing I heard? Try the Nikka 21 with sushi. Not sure how we got here and on this topic but I think it was due to the peat/no peat differences. This is one that Start said he always has for company. He also called out the Macallan 25 and Reflection (not a house whiskey obviously but there for special occasions). I noted I need to come over more often! I’m rating higher due to the hint of peat. — 4 years ago

Very nice oak flavor. Less sweet, but not harsh. Rhonda wants a bottle in the house. Buy a bottle. — 2 years ago
