Inez Craft 4.8

Incredible flavors and exquisitely Harmonized. Imagine combining the best aspects of your preferred Japanese whisky with the peatiness of Octomore from Bruichladdich, and you have this.

Theodora Bacon 5.0

This is an outstanding whisky! It's very well-rounded, with great smoky peat and fresh pear fruit. A few drops of water truly enhance this one. So glad I have two bottles.

Dewey Hannah 5.0

This might be my favorite whiskey. I already enjoy Hakushu 12, but this surpasses it. It's not even that peaty.

Isabela Wallis 3.8

Lacks complexity but has a decent amount of peat. Quite enjoyable overall, though not very memorable.

Dara Davis 3.0

清爽是第一口的口感,有著清甜的柑橘香及麥芽香,但是伴隨的薄荷香氣卻有著非常直接的呈現,雖然之後的層次變化沒有太大的變化,卻能保有第一口的清爽感

Jackie Ezell 4.0

Highly commendable. Smoky yet delicate. The conclusion is brief and mellow.
