Spice King 12yo 52% 21 barrels, 5,000 bottles.
Smell: Stronger than the NAS version, it does have a lot of spices, such as cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, and the nutty feeling is obvious. Of course, there is also peat dirt, but it is wrapped in more cream and butter biscuits. There must be HP here...
Taste: Creamy, greasy, wheat paste, sweet spices, peat is conservative.
Finish: Fat and creamy, wheat paste, vanilla, a bit of cardamom, oak, slight peat.
Summary: It smells better like the NAS model, but the style is quite different, with a thicker taste and a longer aftertaste. The whole is layered and unique.

Peat Chimney 46% Nose: Sweet yellow fruits such as pineapple, lemon, unripe mango, and cream. Peat appears in the form of charcoal, soot, and black pepper.
Taste: citrus, lemon, a little sweet, then saltpeter, minerality, sea water. A nice blend of sweet and salty, plus a clean, non-sloppy ash.
Finish: peat, a little salty, licorice, lemon peel, a little oily.
Summary: The fragrant yellow fruit can make novices let down their guard and feel the presence of Speyside. The taste and finish are reminiscent of Caol Ila with lemon and ash.

Kingsbarns Dream To Dram 46%
These days, 46% of new factories are basic.
Smell: A lot of sweet cream, honeysuckle, maltose, biscuits, wheat porridge, more grassy than The Hive, and the fruity aroma is also greener pear, peach, etc.
Taste: Cream, apple, grass, green pear, peach, and a lot of maltose.
Finish: pear, cream, wood, lots of malt.
Summary: The overall taste is sweet. The winery hopes to make a light-style original wine, and it does so with mainly fruity aromas such as pear and apple. On the other hand, the wheat flavor is still well retained, preventing it from becoming the weak body of a grain whiskey.
This is a good sign.
