ygghuurr 2.8

There is an immediate sweetness similar to a slightly bitter honey, there is noticeable red wine notes that either come off as spicy and bold or a bit pungent and in some moments to me actually off putting. the finish isn’t very long but holds a spicy, semi-dry finish. this probably ranks 4/5 from the cask finish line. I found port to be more palatable, and the peated to be a good combo between peat and speyside sweetness.

ewallhagen 3.0

Light gold color, with a nose of blackberries. Taste is astringent, and somewhat peaty, with notes of vanilla and cloves. Has a lingering finish of anise and black fruit, and has a very velvety rich mouthfeel. Overall not a bad value, as we got it on clearance at our local liquor store, but not my favorite scotch.

nders 2.0

You can really smell the wine notes while sniffing, and it's quite a unique experience . The problem lies with the palate... It's a VERY awkward combination of ethanol, ashtray, rotten fruit and peat. Quite unpleasant. The finish is mainly this strange chemical rot smell as well...

Gaff6120 3.3

Очень резкое и туповатое, к сожалению все тонкие ноты или только в аромате, или лишь на каждый третий глоток уловимы. Да есть дымность, вино, но не всегда, не в каждый сип. Средней гажести сингл

Elmerin 3.5

Barrica de cabernet Aroma a frutos rojos. Franco con la parte mas frutal roja marcada. Seco intenso. Final largo e intenso, seco, amargor leve. Muy reminiscente a la uva de su barrica.

Matt West1 4.5

Definitely a lot of clean speyside malt with fruity notes from the cask, but as opposed to the buttery chard, the cab ends up more chocolatey
