Ora Bertrand 3.0

NOT BENGAL TIGER! Rather a rare single cask bottling, 4yo, 2009 vintage, finished in PX casks, at a heroic 62.8%, so the most similar listing I could find was the Bengal Tiger bottling. I'll move this if it's true listing appears. Nose: bold raw oats, sweet apple blossom, dusty oak. Palate: hot and sweet, viscous, spicy wood, hint of minty menthol. Finish: fairly long, freshly sawn boards, bittersweet, quite numbing without astonishing amounts of added water. Two memorable underrated Malts come to mind, the dusty old books of Aberfeldy 12, and the earthy "je ne sais quoi" of Jura 10, albeit with a slightly raw edge... Thanks be to a generous friend for the sample! Dry glass: faint cardamom?!

Tyra Roark 5.0

From the US Port Cask version. Excellent product with a good balance of peat and sweetness. Contains notes of chocolate, raspberries, peat, and raisins.

Shauna Powell 4.3

I have the U.S. version. It's a peated single malt aged in a port wine cask. Fantastic. Very sweet. Intricate. It leaves a thick and delightful lingering sensation.
