Nose: Hawaiian tropic tanning oil, curacao, pink peppercorn, banana gummies.
Palate: Lemon verbena, white tea, yuzu, prunes. Touch of salt
Rating: 6 / 10 – What a strange whisky. Fun to try but not something I would reach for often.
Nose: Tobacco, dried apricots, prunes, cinnamon.
Palate: Syrupy, unctuous, blueberries, blackberries, medjool dates, cloves.
Rating: 8 / 10 – this is a syrup bomb. Freaking glorious.
Nose: Toasted almonds, dried figs, cherries
Palate: Coffee, dried cherries, chicory, delicate
Rating: 5 / 10 – nicely rounded and the most delicate edradour I’ve tried
Nose: Star of anise, plums, oak, dried lemon peel, thick syrupy vibe
Palate: An extremely simple oak concoction. Hints of sherry fruit bouquet, but lacks complexity. If you like a gentle (death grip -> Ryan) oak hug, this works quite nicely. Lemon and grapefruit peel. Tape.
Rating: 7 (Shane) 5 (Ryan) / 10 – Shane had a tiny mouth party. Ryan was party pooped on after the first dance.
Nose: Homemade biscuits, a nice generic subtle sweetness, hay and flower covered pasture in summer, chamomile.
Palate: Biscoff cookies, endives, wet cardboard on the finish
Rating: 5 (Ryan) 6 (Shane) / 10 – tasty with a strange finish
Nose: Chicken satay peanut sauce, peanut brittle. FRESHLY CRACKED DENTAL DAM. We sure he logged this right? Smells like a madeira. So savory. Rosemary. Mince and apple pie. Curried apples. Golden raisins. Lebanese rice pilaf with dried cranberries and almonds. Wet hay and clovers.
Palate: Usually when the palate matches the nose, that is a plus. But noooope. Nope nope nope. This goes onto the cheap street food that keeps you up all night and industrial rubber spectrum. Then it shifts into a kinda pleasing apple pie vibe. But it doesn’t save it.
Rating: 4 / 10 – Friends don’t let friends drink this alone. Hold my hand Ryan. This juice is for savages. The dry sherry vibe is so darn overwhelming.
Nose: Spongecake with grand marnier sprinkled on, tangerine flan, sawdust, waxiness.
Palate: Wax paper, tangerine taffy, julie’s aunt’s orange rolls, white tea where you left the paper label in, orange flan
Rating: 8 (Shane) 9 (Ryan) / 10 – Be excellent to each other – Party on, dudes! So-crates – “The only true wisdom consists in knowing that you know nothing”. Ted: “That’s us, dude.”
Nose: Pear drops, vanilla custard, panna cotta, lemon, honeysuckle, nectarine, very light violet
Palate: Touch of honey in white tea, lime peel, unripe nectarine, waxy.
Rating: 7 / 10 – en elegant and light summer pour
Nose: Warm cedar, sandalwood, vanilla caramels, cantaloupe.
Palate: Rose hips, marshmallow, creme brûlée, caramel, nabisco vanilla wafers, coffee
Rating: 7 (Ryan) 8 (Shane) / 10 – sweets shop notes, time for a sweater and cup of something warm.
Nose: Wax, buttery, really lovely subtle sweetness like powdered sugar, there is a green note to this that is not unpleasant (akin to cucumber water).
Palate: Front of the palate is delicate and complex, lemon balm, white tea, subtle peach and greenhouse vibe (tomato vine, bell peppers), back of the palate veers towards endive/dandelion greens
Rating: 7 / 10 – what a wonderful pour. Elegant, complex, gentle.
