T- Medium body, slightly thin texture, average carbonation, slightly oily finish.
O- The 12 was okay, the 16 was great, the 18 was outstanding, and then the 30 fell short. Little peat and pretty one dimensional. 5 years of age. Just didn't get much scotch influence in this one. Does get better as it warms.

Poured from 330mL bottle (bottle #32621; dated Sept 2023; imported to Netherlands and distributed to Japan, and brought to Canada by Peter from his Xmas Japan trip). Very dark brown with minimal off white head. Subdued iodine and peat from the whisky, thinner bodied, feint roast and toffee malt, a little bit underwhelming.

Bottle drunk while catching up on Stranger Things before the final season. Super dark with a thin brown head. Sweet brown sugar nose with light earthy peat notes. More rounded and smooth than the 12y and possibly less oxidized. Light foresty campfire, toasted black and chocolate malt, very big flavor with solid, matching bitterness. Excellent!
gave a cheers!

Black color, thin head, sweet bready roasted malt nose with smoky hints. Flavor is very smooth, moderate hops bitterness, excellent rich mouthfeel with well integrated whisky notes in the finish. Earthy, peaty, great match of this beer with smoky whisky.
