Bottle shared in London - another big thanks to Kenneth. Pours clear deep brow with a foamy beige head. Nicely rounded aroma, with notes of dark fruits, chocolate. Medium to big sweet flavor with rich chocolate cake, brownies, mild earthy bitterness, some alcohol. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Good balance on the finish, subtle booze, lightly bitter chocolate, torched earth. Very good.

Bottle thanks to Kenny. It pours darkest brown with a small tan head. The nose is rich, sweet vanilla, bounty bar, cocoa, non-descript whisky, varnish and dried fruits. The taste is smooth, chocolate, toasty, earth, charred wood, whisky action, warming alcohol and light pepper with a dry, earthy finish. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. Hides abv pretty well. Not bad, but probably my least favourite so far.

Bottle thanks to Kenny. It pours dark brown with a small tan head. The nose is smooth, rich roast, toasty coconut, bounty bar, honey, vanilla, earth, dull smoke/toast. The taste is smooth, roasted malt, vanilla, toasty, charred wood, earth, mild smoke, light alcohol, coconut and pepper with a dry, toasty finish. Full body and fine carbonation. Smooth and deceptively drinkable. Solid, but I prefer the Islay ones.

Bottle #544 thanks to Kenny. It pours dark brown with a tiny tan head. The nose is rich, medicinal, smoked peat, sweet Islay whisky, oily, TCP, light roast and cocoa. The taste is bitter-sweet, charred stuff, medicinal, peppery spice, burnt toffee, dried fruits, fruit cake and some warming alcohol with a dry, medicinal finish. Full body and fine carbonation. Great aroma to it. Not as much depth as I had hoped, but solid enough. Decent.

Cask at the white lady. Pours clear dark amber with a bubbly cream-coloured head. Aromas of malt and a light sour note. Taste is more of the same. Thin, caramel, light herbs maybe. Toffee at the end.
