Wet oak
Rich and medium-bodied
Creamy butter, toffee and butterscotch
Coating, but somewhat bitter finish
Lousy packaging...the box was not designed to pick up from the top. Overly fancy packaging and leather trim on the bottle makes me think the distillery is trying to hide something undesirable about the scotch.

A light but happy taste.
A speyside with a little bit of taste. It wears its 16 years quite well. I'm sure the lesser aged malts that go into blends lack the character of this expression.

Bluff
Salty, iodine
Big and Bold
Sweet, then meaty. cutting it draws out the toffee and less ether
Long, kind of bitter, not very comforting/friendly
48% - needs to be cut, it's rough without it.

Cherry
Cut or as a 48? The bottler recommends both, btw. It actually needed the help as it became fruity and tasteful upon cutting.

Hoopie
Briny; after cutting fruity (cherries)
Slight saltiness almost cough syrup
Not much until after cutting
Cutting it really opened it up.

Lakeview
Iodine
peppery with cherry
Excellent cut with a 1/4 teaspoon
Much better when ever-so-slightly cut
