bowmore 12 year old

Reviewer: Jorrit
Color: Light, gold, honey
Nose: light saltiness along with smoke and after a short while some hints of herbs and a sweet (toffee-like) undertone.
Body: Oily but still smooth
Palate: At first peat and salt, later on some sweet hints (dark chocolate, toffee and a little bit lemon)
Finish: Warm and long. Nice and well balanced. From peat and saltiness to more subtle flavours (chocolate, herbs/spices)

the macallan cask strength

Reviewer: wtl.base
Color: Red amber, caramel.
Nose: Sherry, faint fruit, a hint of smoke. Needs water and time.
Body: Medium, dry.
Palate: Sweet, peppery, spicy. Sherry, dried fruit, walnut.
Finish: Medium long, dry, tangy. Quite enjoyable.

Colourful and assertive, but... not my thing. I find the palate rather shallow. The sherry sweetness and other notes seem somewhat combative, not perfectly married.

the glenlivet 12 years old

Reviewer: wtl.base
Color: Very pale amber.
Nose: Chardonnay. An unobtrusive floral bouquet, a hint of raspberry.
Body: Fairly smooth.
Palate: Malt, cereal, light honey. The balance is towards sour, which I find quite refreshing.
Finish: Clean and short.

An elegant, subtle and well-rounded malt. No frills. I like to go back to it when I'm not in the mood for much spice or complexity, or a peat punch.

bowmore 12 year old

Reviewer: wilderthanyou2367
Color: honey
Nose: peat, heavy smoke, camp fire, medicine.
Body: slick.
Palate: Peat, smokey, some oak/vanilla, a touch of honey.
Finish: Long and complex, very even beat to this whiskey.

Cracked this on my birthday. Isley's are not my particular favorite, but this one was particularly enjoyable. A very even beat to the flavours.
