For those who would like to explore different expressions by taste, consider the following list. Since the peaty-smoky malts can be quite powerful, a numerical scale is also provided: 1 = mild; 6 = intense. You may also search the our Tasting Notes by typing in your favorite flavour (e.g., sherry, honey, nutty, salty, toffee, etc.). Then, consult our Best By Region List to find our five star ratings by expression.
