    Medium amber touch of gold..
    Nose
    Citrus, smoke, peat, salty. Made my mind wander...
    Body
    A little on the thin side of medium..
    Palate
    Over ripe oranges, salt. like the taste of the sea, smoke and a little sweet, just nice
    Finish
    Excellent finish, long and the flavors stayed for a while.

    When I drink this it makes me think of where it was made, Rough seas winds, cold and how life was way back when..

    A field full of flowers and grass, also a boozy fruit smell,nice.
    Body
    Medium and coating
    Palate
    Hint of Sherry sweetness, flowers berries, spices and sort of a fruit bread taste, again nice.
    Finish
    Medium finish, and a lot of the flavor stayed around, made you want more.

    I liked this whisky, It wasn't over done. It had a lot of flavor but wasn't to pushy. Just a very nice clean taste...

    Orange, Butter and Sea Air along with the smell of a Campfire on the Beach.
    Body
    Full Bodied Syrupy.
    Palate
    Peat a Little Smoke, Buttery and a little sweet. This whisky has a slight bite to it, nothing Hot, just a slight bite.
    Finish
    Nice Finish, Just long enough, Good Whisky Feel and a little Spice , Licorice Maybe

    This Whisky was good, But not a real Bell Ringer. As far as Islay Whiskys are concerned it's right in there but it's a little to Sweet and Toffee tasting for me. Lips feel sticky at the Finish.

    Smoke, peat and more Smoke and then Seaweed also the smell of the sea coast after a storm.
    Body
    Full Rich and oily.
    Palate
    This ones not easy, Smoked Fish, toffee a little Barley and sweet Spice. also the taste of buttered veggies.
    Finish
    Long, Sweet Smoky, very Good

    This one suprised me, Most comments were average, middle of the road, but I found it different. A lot of flavors and they changed often. First taste a lotta smoke and then the sea came in then Smoked kippers Salt. sweet candy, barley grass and then ten minutes later sweet, salt, floral. This one was very complex for me but I did like it alot but then I love the Islands. (Especially ISLAY.)

    Don't think I've had a Macallan that didn't taste good, This is no exception. I Love the Islands and if I want a change this is one of the bottles I reach for.

    This is my first Macallan and It does have a strong Sherry Taste. Also very Smooth and Soft. It is a very good whisky and it's quite expensive. A very nice Dram but not very interesting.

    Fruit, Spice and Sherry, Lightly coats your mouth and has a very warm feel.
    Finish
    Medium Long and a light taste of Chocolate.

    Not to expensive, But for the money this is a Very Good Whiskey. Put this in a liquor cabinet and I'd bet it's one of the first ones to empty.

    Heavy Medicinal, like walking into an Emergency Room. Then Sea weed, Smoke and Peat, I'am not talking a hint of this or a hint of that, These aromas knock you on your ASS.
    Body
    Medium on the Thin Side.
    Palate
    Sweet, Smoke, Salt and Peat, The taste of sea water like when you just swam in the ocean.
    Finish
    Medium, Soft, sweet Like those Butterscotch hard candies of years gone bye.

    This was the 43% ABV... From medicinal to candy this one was good. One of the big boys, This one earns the title of one of the STRONGEST Tasting Single Malts Around. (My Wife loved the after taste of this one).

    Finish
    Not long at all, but left notes of sweet malt and some vanilla

    This is a Cask Strength Whiskey but left me wanting more. I'am not sure about this one, but there was something about it I didn't like.Tasted like grain alcohol with flavoring added, Not done right..
