Will's Review
  • Overall Rating: 7
  • Smokiness: 2
  • Sweetness: 8
  • "Sap-like", "mouth prickle", "struck matches", "madeira carry-over"
  • Quite a sweet scotch, but not overbearing. I like scotch.
Max's Review
  • Overall Rating: 7.5
  • Smokiness: 4
  • Sweetness: 5
  • Subtle hints of peat, pepper, iodine, and sour patch kids. 
  • Also smells a little woody, like sherry/oak.
  • Has a nice rich, dark amber colour that makes it a very warm scotch
Steve's Review
  • Overall rating: 6.667
  • Smokiness: 5
  • Sweetness: 6
  • Pretty good but let down a little by a weird spice taste. Pepper or cinnamon with a little bit of medicine-y taste.

Random Category - If this scotch were a candy, what candy would it be?

Max - Cinnamon hearts, it has a good spice to it.
Will - Butterscotch sticks
Steve - This scotch compared to a really good scotch is like those green apple rings are to peach rings, or like swedish fish are to swedish berries.
