Has a little skunk to it. Leafy cabbage, brussel sprouts? |
Hard to say: conflict with the dessert. What I imagine a cigarette tastes like. |
Wild Scotsman. Paired with Bananas Foster. A better match would be a Macallan. |

Extraordinarily light after the L16... |
unremarkable |
Honestly, was thrown off given the sequence of single malts, this is probably better than I give it credit. A strong 3rd place for me. |
