Raided Score is a conversion from an external site's score, to our in house uniform scoring system. Please see the FAQ for more.

  • Nose:

    Odd nose that comes across almost like an IPA — hoppy and juicy.

  • Taste:

    Peat arrives on the palate, joined by menthol and some Juicy Fruit gum, plus a touch of ash.

  • Finish:

    Peat rides through on the finish joined by ash and more menthol and fruitiness.

  • Overall:

    An interesting and unique mix of flavors that work solidly together, but all told this whiskey is just OK. Not much complexity or depth.
