Happy #WorldWhiskeyDay. Medium amber in appearance. Warm and inviting nose. Sweet and rich layered nose and palate with some sherry influence, tropical fruits and full bodied. A bit sharp but well rounded and rich. — 3 days ago

A great lager, nothing but pure water, hops, and the best barley malt.

Nice, but a light B-W, I enjoy a slightly heavier wheat base, but refreshing on a warm Georgia evening. — 19 minutes ago

NV Night cap. This is the malt that professor Mortimer drinks in my favorite strip series Blake & Mortimer, the last album “La Vallée des Immortels” (de vallei der onsterfelijken). Soft and full of character. — 19 days ago

Pretty good IPA. A bitter freshness. A little bit overpretentious. Fruit notes not very expkicit. Nothing postmodern. But still really good. — 2 days ago

Kinda smells like a fart / weak NYC sewer smells...the good news is the palate tastes much better than the Spirit smells. Spicy and medium-light peat. — 12 days ago

That could be my most favorite “sour” ever. It is like in between a sour and a not sour. — 13 days ago

I don't particularly care for peated whisky, but this bottle was nothing short of brilliant. The finesse was absolutely mind-boggling - not something I had expected out of a dram made with high levels of peat smoke, at 67 ppm.

Again, I'm not very good with whiskies and it's not often I write notes on it, but this just demanded the attention. Perhaps the best peated whisky I've had.

Tasted neat. Very elegant smoke, if that even makes sense. Neither harsh, nor overpowering. There's a citrusy, spice box, and sea-spray element to the nose too. Palate feels quite rich, kinda like smoking a cigar and eating creme caramel with candied pineapples. The finish is smooth, long, spicy, and smoky. With ice/water, I got more of the oak, but the more delicate citrusy elements started appearing on the palate. The smoke also feels more savoury than cigar-like, kinda like that smokiness in smoked foods. A real joy to sip on.

NB: Distilled 2006, bottled 2016. Another user's tasting note sums this up very well - strong peat, light scotch 🤣 — a month ago
