Cayla Holm 3.5

A rich, Single Malt Scotch from the Grant family in Speyside, Scotland aged for? years in American oak casks before being finished in Caribbean Rum Casks. It has an aromatic beginning with notes of grain, tropical fruits, wood & spices; while a rich & complex middle adds plantains, mango, starfruit, papaya, caramel, brown sugar & oak that led to a long & balanced end. December 2021 / August 2022

Carol Talley 4.0

* Final: Largo * Nose: Typical of sherry. Noticeable sweetness, vanilla, ripe yellow and red fruits, some sugar in the background. * Mouth: White pepper accompanies sweet cereals, very ripe peach, ginger, flowers

Kolton Rojas 4.8

Powerful barley scent, sweet and malty. The taste echoes the aroma. It's spicy and robust, with a rich sweetness beneath. A superb combination. The richness sustains the blend of sweet and spice, leading to a pleasant lingering finish. Amazing.

Virgil Zheng 4.0

Taste the malt, pleasant and smooth with only a slight burn at the end. Very reasonably priced, I will purchase it again.
