Apr 27, 2009 Updated: Apr 28, 2009Blackish with a big tight beige head. Very laid back aroma with plenty of vanilla, caramell and fudge and some roasted notes in the background. Flavour is similar with smooth whiskey notes. Body is slick, a bit too slick and kind overall not really filling the mouth enough here. Nice fairly long, sweet aftertaste.

Apr 22, 2009 blackish pour with a medium tan head. Aroma is minimal - a bit of roasty wood and thats about it. Flavor is roasty, woody, a tad bitter, and very one-dimensional. Not much here at all, very boring.

Apr 16, 2009 Bottle (330ml). Shared by jerc and mabel with me and garthicus. Oily black pour with an average creamy frothy dark tan head. Rich, dry iodine/peat aroma with light toffee roast maltiness. The taste is quite similar to the 12 year-old - iodine/peat balanced against sweet malt, but in this 16 the scotch is more intense and acidic; detracts a little bit from the enjoyment. Slick, slightly light body, acidic with a bitter/boozy linger - very nice, just a little less balanced than the 12-year-old.

Apr 4, 2009 Bottle. Pitch black darkness. Slight alcohol and dark fruits reign supreme in the aroma Slightly smokey and just a little bit of roastiness, very smooth and very good.

Apr 4, 2009 2009-04-02. Pitch black body with a pleasant smooth creamy brown head that fades (3+). Aroma is mild in the same way as the 12 year version, but seems "smoother" somehow, even though the whisky touches that are interwoven seem slightly stronger, modest roast malt. Flavour has more prominent whisky than the 12, touch dry overall with a sweet malty core. Light bitterness throughout lingers into the aftertaste, spurred on by the alcohol. (7+) Smooth medium bodied palate is a bit under carbonated but it mostly works for the beer. Not bad by any means but the increase whisky and alcohol representation made it less drinkable for me than the 12. I might not have noticed as much if I had not had them back to back.

Apr 2, 2009 Nice deep black color with small head. Nose is filled with roasted malts, smoke, and liquorice, as wel as more gentle nuances such as vanilla. Flavor is equally roasted, with hints of smoky whisky. A big and round mouthfeel makes the beer work on many levels. Very nice.
