Max's Review
- Overall rating: 8.5
- Smokiness: 4
- Sweetness: 4
- Not really smokey, not really sweet, Very smooth on the nose, clean and fresh with hints of floral
- The subtle earthy/malty tones mixed with the toffee and nutmeg flavours really balance it out
- Great with nacho chips
- Overall Rating: 9
- Smokiness: 5
- Sweetness: 4.5
- Great after-taste. Strong pre-taste. Excellent taste-taste. Its a scotch's kind of scotch.Very well crafted balance of flavours. If I had one complaint it would be that this scotch lacks the dangerous, debonair, risk taking flair. In the world of Top Gun, this scotch would be the Iceman as opposed to Maverick.

- Not smokey, fairly sweet. Tastes of fresh fruit, honey and caramel with a woody/nutty backdrop. Enjoyable, tasty and easy drinking

Will's Review
- Overall rating: 9
- Smokiness: 9

- Smokier than a Czech nightclub. Strong overtones of wood, leather, and molasses but without sweetness. A real mans drink and a friend forever.
- You were right, anonymous commenter
Random Category - What would you mix with this scotch to make a bar shot and what would you call it?
Max - Mixed with Fireball...it's called "This Sex is on Fire"
Steve - 2 parts Dalwhinnie to 1 part Laphroig (or Talisker, something smokey / peaty). I would call it "A Tale of Two Worlds".
Matt - Mixed with apple juice and molasses, called Afternoon Delight(It doesn't go in your brownie)
Will - Pure, finely pulped cash. It would be called "the cure for AIDS".
