    Color
    flat Miller Lite with a splash of diet coke
    Nose
    light, almost sweet with very little peat. sort of refreshing.
    Body
    thin and doesn't linger
    Palate
    there is a tangy'ness almost citrus quality.
    Finish
    short finish and not too hot (alcohol).

    This is actually a very easy drinking whisky. The lack of complexity makes it perfect for a drink to have when "not" discussing Scotch.

    Nose
    Alcohol, Nuts and Esters, Very complex

    Sweet, Fuller than anything, Intense
    Palate
    Lots of nuts, Lots of esters, Peach, Rotten Bartlet pear
    Finish
    Lasts forever. Waves and waves. Concentrated at the back of the tongue.

    A knockout! Intense, like multpile orgasms. A must for any whisky drinker. This is unlike anything else.

    Color
    Light honey
    Nose
    Citrus, Phenol
    Body
    Overshadowed by the sudden surge of burn on the tongue at full strength. Like a bear trap.
    Palate
    Peat smoke, Beach wood, A warm oily tast that makes me think of dark malts.
    Finish
    Long, almost an oyster taste. Leaves the tongue numb around the edges full strength.

    To date i have not taste a whisky more drinkable lthan this. Powerful and fast like an elegant crockodile.

    Color
    Tanned hyde.
    Nose
    Watered: Very bitter. Spoiled red wine, New leather, Peat. Suspicious. Full strength: Caramel and fruitcake sweetness.
    Body
    Full bodied and thick. A real kick in the face powerful malt.
    Palate
    Very powerful flavours. Burnt sugar & caramel. Slight wine notes. Much less than the nose suggests. Burns at full strength.
    Finish
    Super powerful finish. Lasts forever -- really! I had to drink water to make it stop 10 minutes later. Full strength brings out plumb notes in the finish. Burns in a good satisfying way.

    This is my new favorite whisky. It is unlike anything else i've ever drank. Thanks a million to Kyle at the Shebeen whisky bar for recommending it. I will drink this as often as i can.
