Tasting 24 samples totally blind in December 2020, you can find more here. All notes except the very last few sentences are written before reveal. Disclaimer: These are all very small drams, around 1.5 cl each, so doing a proper tasting is challenging. I'll do my best!
0.3 (Pale gold)
Nose
Some sherry influence? Oranges, dried fruit, cinnamon, chocolate.
Palate
Round, doughy, malty, some fruit.
Finish
Winey
Must be some sherry involved here - especially given the winey finish. I like the mouthfeel and roundness. Not very exciting, but good. I'd have it again.
Guess: Sherry (refill probably), around 43%. Something similar to Oban 14 (again, I recognized the mouthfeel on the Highland Park 12).
Reveal: Hazelburn 10! New to me. I'd love to try it again with some more room to see if there's more to it.
