I'm not quite sure. The ones I have had have been from Bowmore, Glenmorangie, and a few others I'm having trouble recalling, but they were all from distilleries that I would not think would add anything to their own spirit. The tastes were very distinctly different, as I compared side by side, a Bowmore Port finished to their 12 year old. I would say it it is your palette over additions to the spirit.

It's a fun trip exploring different whisky isn't it.
