Filey Bay (UK) Flagship single malt
Pale straw color. Honey and hay/grass in the nose. Floral.
First taste – honey and maybe something nutty? It’s very subtle.
Opens up with lots of butter and herbals. Very nice.

Darkness 8yo single malt
December 10th entry in this year’s whiskey Advent calendar which just arrived today.
Pineapple, leather, and old books in the nose. Weirdly, smells like a used bookstore. A little dusty.
Taste: a hint of orange peel. Pepper. Salt and sea air. Something bitter and undefinable.
The color is kind of a pale gold.
It has a long finish that tastes like chewing on a stick. Possibly a pencil. There is something mineral about the finish.
With a spot of water, there’s a weird citrus and herbal aroma that emerges, which is very familiar but I can’t quite place it. Finally at the very end butterscotch and caramel emerged very prominently, but only when I only had a sip left.
