Nose: Overall dry, vinous impression supported by spicy, woody notes. Seductive aromas of tart red berries, vanilla, a hint of wax. A little water softens the nose and relaxes the aroma, without much alteration.

Mouth: Ultra-unctuous, gourmet texture. Barley sugar, pinch of salt, suggestions of currant and crunchy grape. At reduced strength, it's not as tart, but still spicy; the sweetness is enhanced but the mouth-watering spicy heat remains.

Finish: Long and dry with pepper and mild spice. With milder water, now with a trace of fondant in the aftertaste.

Nose: Sweet and clean, honeyed, fruity, caramel tart and tart apricots. Slight minty freshness followed by smoky notes.

Mouth: Honeyed, sweet, rich with a lovely texture. Spicy with gingerbread, mint chocolate and sweet smoke.

Finish: Persistent, smooth, malty. sweet.

A well-balanced, lightly saline Highland single malt whisky that makes an excellent aperitif. A crisp, dry, appetizing malt that opens with fresh, sweet orange notes and a long, dry finish.

N. Aromas of wood fire and heather, followed by the sweetness of oak and caramelized apples. Mouth: Smoky notes alternating with vanilla and caramel aromas and discreet fruity hints. Finish: Striking harmony between the harshness of smoke and the sweetness of oak.

Spicy autumn fruits, complemented by honey, cereals and orange.

Nose: Notes of subtly spiced cereals, mango, papaya and pea pods. Traces of hard toffee and light oak chips. A drop of water reveals notes of cinnamon brioche and salted caramel.

Mouth: Silky and fluid with an intense taste of sweet butterscotch, a spicy-dry and woody intensity. The addition of water softens the honeyed sweetness of the creamy, smooth Swiss milk chocolate, with just a hint of salt in the mid-palate. The mild spices now keep the sweetness in check.

Finish: Short and rather intense, with spicy chili pepper notes.

Nose: Powerful, complex and spicy, with hints of Sherry and dried fruit.

Mouth: Round despite the high alcohol content, lovely complexity with notes of vanilla, exotic fruit, sweet spices and Sherry PX well present despite its young age.

Finish: Harmonious and long.

Nose: Heather smoke and charred citrus.

Mouth: The initial explosion of fruit gives way to subtle campfire smoke.

Finish: Long and persistent.
