Final score on the night and it's another 4. A delicious dram to close things off, all the fire and brimstone I was hoping for from this line up.
I'm away to pour myself another

Salty, deep heat laced lemon syrup. It suggests up front it's going to be sweet but it's absolute liquorice and tobacco. There's a bit of rubber and a real hemp note there too. Reminds me of my bagpipe playing days...

There's a lovely complex nature to this, which brings a solid peat level but with plenty of other salty and sweet notes to keep my going back for another quick sip.
I'd promised myself I wouldn't buy another bottle this year, but at the right price this might push me
A strong 4/5

Ah this is lovely. Oily, industrial, smokey, and salty with hints of oranges, old fashioned syrup and burnt brown sugar.

Some decent flavours, but far too subtle and the firey finish dominates.
After a heavenly first dram, hell hath been bestowed upon me with drams 2 & 3 delivering heartburn and a scorchedophagus (future Ardbeg release?)
No vomit this time, so this get's a 2/5

Thick and creamy up front. Really dry fruit cake notes. Salty, savoury, but something like strawberry creamola foam....then a world of burn and pepper. First two sips singed but after that it's simmered.

Urgh. First sip is acidic. It's like heartburn. A few more and I'm wondering if it might be an STR red wine. Burnt berries. There's really not a lot to enjoy here. Maybe D1 killed my palate but this isn't doing it for me.

No smoke here...was hoping we might be going all 5 there!!
Oloroso like smell on this one. A nutty, almost savory sweetness. Touch of cola cubes, boozy sultanas, warm banana bread

Did I get a different dram to everyone else??!!
I can't give this a 3, it's better than, so it gets a rarely seen first dram 4 for me. Could guzzle my way through this in no time. If someone could bring me some BBQ'd cod to go with this that would be perfect.

To taste...still Caol Ila so it's that (or Torabhaig potentially). It's young, fizzy, smokey, with a light lemon citrus note and a hint of grapefruit. Surely bourbon finish only. A cracking start.

On the nose...Caol Ila. Has to be. It's all that coastal, unique smokey smell from the Islay distillery you hit first (when landing at Port Askaig) tar, old boats in an old harbour. Smells great!

Stunning. Could this be a Glen Turret??
Love this. Meaty, smokey, fruity, ashy, tasty, honey, godly, whisky.
5/5
Could drink this all night, and tomorrow night too.
Laphroaig cask?
I've convinced myself now it IS Islay

ok, I could be wrong...cause could be Caol Ila or Torabhaig (if I was right 🙏)
This is soooooo ashy. It's the smell on your clothes after a drunken night next to an outdoor woodburner.
There's a deliciously savoury fruit note in here too. Redcurrant jam on a juicy leg of lamb.

Peat is here too, but it's not Islay peat...it's lusher than that.
Arbroath Smokies, American pastrami, a smell I very much associate with fishing for trout on Gladhouse reservoir on one of the dark green rowing boats.
Love this. Plucking some memory strings...

This has been my favourite so far. All the elements of a BBQ sauce drizzled bit of fatty pork off a fire. All subtle though, just enough to keep you going back for another sip.
A solid 4/5 on this one. Under £80 and I'll buy a bottle of this tonight

Salty first, then sweet. I'm sticking with my kebab off the BBQ theme from the nose as this feels like a pork kebab with a kansas style BBQ sauce on it.
There's a subtle soft smoke here, with something sweet like a really juicy slightly burnt bit of yellow pepper.

it's a boozy cough syrup. More like Covonia, but in a good way! It's dry at the end, with a touch of nutmeg, clove and a touch of cinnamon. There's something a bit like pumpkin pulp in here too.
There's something really sour at the end of this though which stops it being a belter

This might be the darkest whisky I've had doing this so far. Even in a small pour it holds it's colour & it's sensational!
Probably a PX just on the eye alone. The nose is ginger snaps, white pepper, heavily varnished old wooden floors, old leather chairs, buttercup cough syrup...
