Cellar/Tasting Notes
Bowmore is a 12 year-old dram originally bottled for travel retail, and boasts a higher proportion of sherry-matured malt in its make-up. A full-bodied dram, it's colour is darker and the whisky itself is sweeter than the standard 12 year-old, with compensating robust smokiness and a hint of brine.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The Sherry finish has a very delicate nose with soft elements of both a fruitiness and dry oakiness. Of course there are notes of sherry wine and traces of honey sweetness. The finish is long, warm, and moderately dry.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Malt whisky of unique character and subtlety, elegant, delicately scented.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Laphroaig is considered one of the most strongly flavored scotches out there. Phenolic notes on the nose and palate. Flavors of driftwood, kelp and iodine, but never hot or rough. Smoky and long finish, where the sweetness of vanilla and fruit come through for balance.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The aromatic profile is assertive yet welcoming, sweetish yet cereal dry, and oaky yet floral and a touch briny; the quintessential 12-year-old malt bouquet. In the mouth, the integrated flavors come in waves of toasted walnut, dark caramel, toasted marshmallow and barely perceptible seaweed. -..

"The early stage aroma is fresh, malty, yeasty/beery and honey-like; further aeration stimulates intriguing notes of nougat, milk chocolate and oaky vanilla.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
At 120 proof, this new Knob Creek is scorching hot, and too impossibly strong to drink without cutting it down. It needs water, and more than a splash.
Once down to sipping strength, this bourbon's charms are readily apparent. Standard Knob Creek is complex but on the sweet side, its oak..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The nosing finds dry grainy notes with background scents of dried flowers and parchment, and deeper fragrances of light toffee, almond paste and yellow fruit. Entry is oily, buttery and semisweet; the whisky dazzles at midpalate with layered flavors of brown butter, cooking oil, barley malt and..
