Cask at The Howff, Aberdeen. It pours crystal clear golden witt a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fragrant, floral, orange blossom, tangerine, kumquat, apricot and biscuity malt. The taste firmly dry, decent bitterness which builds, snappy biscuit, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, waxy orange peel, dull marmalade and floral accents with some toasty grain through quite a bitter finish. Average body a decent fluffy cask carbonation. Easy going hoppy blonde ale. Far from a game changer, but drinks fine.

12 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma has some gentle smokiness from the barrels and soft English bready malt. Flavour is surprisingly muted, with gentle whiskey barrels, soft toasted malt, and some earthy breadiness. Surprisingly mellow.

Bottle.
A- Black color, dark liquid, minimal tan head.
A- Smoky, soy sauce, oak, slightly roasty.
F- Roasty, cocoa, smoke, soy, mild whisky.
T- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, umami finish.
O- The 12 year was okay, so wasn't sure how it would be with the rest of these as I bought one of each year. This was awesome. The 16 imparts tons more smoke and rich umami flavor. The whisky is not booze but comes forward with some oak and very dark fruits. Not too sweet. Liked this one.
