Nose: pretty weak
Palate: nice peaty taste
Finish: smoky and spicy
Balance: tastes better than it smells, good finish
Nose: candy and A'bunadh and perfume
Palate: complicated wonders
Finish: perfection and smoke
Balance: well done!
Nose: sweet, faint citrus, pretty benign
Palate: a bit peppery, faint smokiness, leather, now cherry? Elusive...
Finish: pretty long, center-tongued, smoke on the back of the throat
Balance: surprisingly balanced for what it is
Nose: all over the place but not in a bad way
Palate: ahh, some teeth but maybe not
Finish: falls flat
Balance: it is a crazy blend but the smoky element makes it work
Nose: medicine
Nose: nice but vague
Palate: kind of an Islay influenced Speyside Bourbon. Rather nice.
Finish: a rough note at the end - new make
Balance: a toast to a wonderful year
Nose: not a lot going on. I can't really pick anything specific. A little smoke on the hand.
Palate: subtle burn up front, again, can't pick out anything specific but not bad. A tiny bit bitter, but dig that
Finish: not powerful, but it lingers. Still a bit bitter. A bit of smoke/peat
Balance: nose to finish really not bad for a year's blend of scotch
Nose: vaguely herbal, some smoke, deep breath reveals peat, loads of wood on skin
Palate: wow. Solid, big, peaty.
Finish: some odd notes punching through in mouth but good (?)
Balance: much better than 2013, a wee but uneven
Finish: incredibly smoky
Nose: not a lot of strong flavours, it seems complex but subdued, hard to find any individual notes
Palate: complicated, although each note seems to be slightly beheaded, oily, with a bit of smoke, good orange zing
Finish: lasts well enough, flavours hang around but taper off and flatten out a touch
Balance: pretty good all around but missing the warmth in the chest
Nose: sweet, nice, not overwhelming, honey vanilla
Palate: nice, sharp, tangy, peat, vanilla
Finish: long, easy, clean
Balance: (?) fills young - fizzy?-ish
