    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)

    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.

    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.

    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.
