Review this whisky

review by mp

Color: Gold
Nose: Dry Synthetic Fruits, malt, smoke
Body: Medium bodied.
Palate: Iodine, fennel, bittersweet,
Finish: long, lingering, honeyed.

This one is very good, my first tasting was just after a taste of blue label - so it actually tasted quite good. However, the second tasting was on a clean palate, and I have to say the smoky taste reminds me of Laphroaig - however the iodine is not as strong. This is a really good single malt - it's very well balanced, and has a nice sweet touch to it. Great value too! I'm tempted to give it a score in the 90's, but I think 89 will do.
