I wasn't sure how I'd handle these three; but I liked them all. I think that's a first for me. If I had to pick a number one out of the three it would be the Middleton Distillery Redbreast 12 year old. Equal and very close second is the Koval Millet Single Barrel and the Whistlepig 10 year old Straight Rye.

Thanks to everyone, this is a awesome way to experience whisky all corners of the globe. Thanks

I have had 3 months of the Whisky Loot samples. This is my favourite month so far, but am looking towards the next 9.

I like the concept of the samplers. By the end of the 12 months I will have sampled 36 different whiskies. This will allow me to know what to add to my shopping list without having to buy a whole bottle that I may not like.

I think the concept of small bottles and tasting notes is great. I cannot discern flavours though. The ones I have tried are, as per title, small steps into the Whiskey world. Don't think I am that much of a fan that I can pay for full bottles or long time subscription. Was a nice treat, or would make a nice gift.

The Lark Symphony No. 1 is a joy to drink. For a Lark whisky it is also inexpensive.

The Glenlivet is delightfully smooth.

The Suntory Yoichi has a distinct wood smoke note with a sweet finish.
