Dark amber. Aroma has deep fruit, light alcohol, with a slight malt. The barrels bring all manner of fruits to this. It's got some acidity, very light malt. It doesn't feel entirely like a Pannepot, the base is turned so fruity and juicy from the barrel.

Dark brown, oily. The aroma has a lot of peanut butter. And chocolate. On the palate, there's more coconut, the peanut butter is lighter. Good body, lots of chocolate and again with the coconut and peanut butter. It doesn't come together particularly, but it's not bad either. There's a bit of strongish alcohol in the finish, but well-balanced.

Pale amber, with haze. Weak head. Good aroma, lemony, a bit of leather, and a sort of pear note. It's got a slight sweetness up front, but it gets quite dry in the finish. Light bugs, mellow fruit.

Dark brown, somewhat oily-looking. This has a light smokiness, sort of a date-like sweetness. Similar palate, again those dates, fig newtons, soft syrup, malt, with a light smoke. The rye barrel definitley shows through in the finish, including a shot of alcohol.

Dark brown. There's a lot of Ardbeg on the nose, and again on the palate. The stout base isn't mild, but it's mostly serving to hold up all that peat smoke. Basically, gives body and malt richness to Ardbeg, which is a really good idea. A touch of chocolate, which complements this well.

Amber. The aroma has a bit of woodiness. Good body, very fruity, that's a bit of a rich cognac here. That fruitiness is quite good, goes together well with the sticky base.

Darkish amber, pours relatively flat. This is sweetish, sticky, with a decent bourbon character. Medium body, nice sugars but it's got light, drinkable character. A light tannin note in the finish, but this does not come across at all like a bourbon barley wine.

Quite pale. Has a dryish character, like champagney sort of note. Light malt. Grape shows mainly in the finish. Decent, mellow and fairly easy drinking.
