Member Ratings and Notes

Andy

n: salty, fresh pine lumber

p: sweet and salty almonds, not unlike some better Caol Ilas. Faint charcoal. Incredibly quaffable. Gently peated.

B/B+

Ries

Surprisingly easy to drink. Salty Mexican chocolate, charred steak fat, cinnamon, and hint of BBQ sauce. Buttermilk and charred wood in a softer, sweet finish that lingers for a long time. [B+/B]

Ardbeg Kelpie (46% ABV):

same as above, just not as nice and lush. [B]
