More office Holiday party. Nose of toffee and candied tropical fruit. Very honeyed and not too peaty and perhaps some burnt orange marmalade. Super solid.

Praline, citrus peel, orange blossom..well balanced but just not a lot of finish compared to other similar priced single malts. Lighter fare. No ice ever.

Don't know if our bottle was compromised, or worse, a fake, because this was one of the worst scotch I've tasted. It's so harsh. Sure there was spice, char, and citrus, but it was all coated in turpentine. Even water didn't save it for me. This cannot be right, no?

Very interesting. Has a deep earthy tone with a heavy peat flavor. Ultra smooth with a little bite on the finish. Unique flavor. Not an everyday drinker, but a very nice change up.

Initial sweet taste like the inside of eclair donut, would be good for breakfast

Such complexity, orange, black chocolate, with an aftertaste of peaty sea salt, and oak. Brilliant!

Malty, with dark fruit being the predominant flavor. There is also a hint of peat. Good on a rainy day.
