Thanks for all of the comments. It is certainly a fun series, particularly if you have the opportunity to try so many! Prior to buying this bottle I tried a sample of another batch (unsure which unfortunately) at a liquor store and found it to balance with the scotch much more smoothly. Regardless it is a lot of fun to compare and contrast. It further illustrates how every part of the process has an important impact. Cheers! Glad to provide some entertainment.

I have not tried this batch of their Paradox series yet, but I have a bottle of it, and I've tried some of their other batches. It is a very interesting series, and I think it's fun to see how the scotch casks influence the beer. Batch 9 was aged in an Ardbeg '91 cask, and as much as I love Ardbeg and Islay scotches, the Ardbeg really overpowers the beer. Batch 8 (a Bowmore '87 cask) is much more balanced. Batches 16 (a Smokehead cask) and 13 (a '66 Port Dundas grain whisky cask) are also fantastic. I currently have 6 different bottles (a Batch 5 '92 Glen Moray as well) and will be doing a side-by-side tasting sometime soon with a couple friends to see how they compare. The bottles tend to be a bit expensive, I've paid between $10-12 for mine, but as a person that doesn't like stouts, and loves scotch, I find these all to be very drinkable so far.
