review by rharlow
- Color
- flat Miller Lite with a splash of diet coke
- Nose
- light, almost sweet with very little peat. sort of refreshing.
- Body
- thin and doesn't linger
- Palate
- there is a tangy'ness almost citrus quality.
- Finish
- short finish and not too hot (alcohol).
This is actually a very easy drinking whisky. The lack of complexity makes it perfect for a drink to have when "not" discussing Scotch.

- Color
- Light honey
- Nose
- Citrus, Phenol
- Body
- Overshadowed by the sudden surge of burn on the tongue at full strength. Like a bear trap.
- Palate
- Peat smoke, Beach wood, A warm oily tast that makes me think of dark malts.
- Finish
- Long, almost an oyster taste. Leaves the tongue numb around the edges full strength.
To date i have not taste a whisky more drinkable lthan this. Powerful and fast like an elegant crockodile.
review by colin
- Color
- Tanned hyde.
- Nose
- Watered: Very bitter. Spoiled red wine, New leather, Peat. Suspicious. Full strength: Caramel and fruitcake sweetness.
- Body
- Full bodied and thick. A real kick in the face powerful malt.
- Palate
- Very powerful flavours. Burnt sugar & caramel. Slight wine notes. Much less than the nose suggests. Burns at full strength.
- Finish
- Super powerful finish. Lasts forever -- really! I had to drink water to make it stop 10 minutes later. Full strength brings out plumb notes in the finish. Burns in a good satisfying way.
This is my new favorite whisky. It is unlike anything else i've ever drank. Thanks a million to Kyle at the Shebeen whisky bar for recommending it. I will drink this as often as i can.
