Mar 17, 2008 Pours an oily opaque with a thinly-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of lightly sweet dark caramel malt and some earthy smoky peat. Body starts with a mild sweetness and some light fruity esters with a decent balance of woody scotch before a drier, slightly oxidized and warming finish. Not quite as peaty as the 12 year old version, but still pretty good.

May 15, 2008 (33cl bottle, #04291, Sept07, vertical with the 12 & 30) Black body with small, quickly dissipating tan head. Aroma is medium sweet, vanilla, some caramel, molasses, roast, whisky/peat, faint mint. Taste is moderately sweet, roast, caramel, smoke, plum, molasses. Medium-full body, some stickiness, notably smoother than the 12. Scotch is complementary rather than overpowering.

Aug 10, 2008 12 oz bottle - Opaque black color with small medium tan head. Aroma is full of molasses, dark caramel, ash, raisens, subtle smoke. Flavor is full of roasted caramel, bitter malts, dates, oak, faint roastyness. Finish is fairly bitter for the style. Overall it’s good, but doesn’t quite live up to the hype or the price. I don’t get much scotch out of it.

Apr 27, 2008 Bottle: Pours a black color, similar to the 12, with a light head. The nose is richer than the 12 with a peaty snap followed by more plum and molasses than honey and citrus. The smokiness reminds me a bit of roasted hojicha or lapsang souchong. Nice chewy body with a carob and vanilla backing towards the tail. Yummy!

Sep 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with an average, fizzy light brown head, somewhat diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, molasses, toffee), light hop (perfume), average yeast (leather) with notes of prune, dates, wood, and vanilla. Full bodied, creamy and alcoholic texture, average carbonation, and an astringent finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Mar 31, 2009 11.2oz bottle, # 06409 bottled Sept 2007. Sampled side-by-side with the 12 and 30. Pours very deep brown, nearly opaque, with a very thin tan head. Aroma of chocolate malt, vanilla, and peat. Flavor is a nice mixture between peat and vanilla. I thought this was a bit better than the 16.

Jun 4, 2009 My favorite, marginally anyways, of the ola dubh series. Quite smooth with a nice alcohol bite to cap. Black pour with light smoke notes tagged along with the whiskey alcohol aromas throughout. A bit dry and tasty.

Mar 18, 2008 Pours onxy with small off-tan head. Nose is complex; a mix of dark malt, prunes, merlot, blackberry, anise, chocolate, earthy peaty notes, and subdued oaky spirits. Tastes dark malty up front, with mid-palate pruney fruit, blackberry merlot notes, and oaky spirits emerging more as it warms. Complex in nose and taste, this one was very good.
