Ken and Tonya had us over on a Saturday night to help bottle some beer, aged in a Palm Ridge Reserve barrel, and eat some wonderful food. The Scottish Ale tasted awesome. This was also a study session for the Highland Games.

*Cutty Sark  40% ABV
     -smelled grassy/waxy sweet
     -slight rubber smell
     -tasted slightly wood and pepper without a burn
     -with water a little bitter with a sweet citrus/lemon tang
     -trailed quickly
     Very, very surprised with so much flavor in a blend! The citrusy ending with water was the most surprising part. 

*Deanston Single Malt   46.3% ABV
     -smelled sweet grassy with oak
     -tasted a bit peppery with sweet oak
     -with water smelled oak and light citrus
     -tasted peppery/chalky, citrus at first
     -trailed oak and tannins

*Springbank  10 yr   46% ABV
     -smelled sweet sugar cookie slightly
     -tasted peppery with almost shortbread
     -with water smelled licorice with oak
     -tasted oak then pepper
     -trailed light wood
     Shortbread and licorice were a surprise but coming from two blends I guess my tastebuds/sinuses were ready for a deeper flavor you can only get from a single malt.
