    Short finish, hot but desireable

    What a nice whisky - this is a great daily drinker. Easy drinking, smooth but still strong enough to give a desireable kick in the throat when consumed.

    A surprisingly good whisky. Take with half a drop of water to calm the alcohol burn. I found this one most enjoyable after a beefy supper.

    Nose
    Medicinal and antiseptic. Iodine, Listerine, a little smoke. Slight trace of something sweet (toffee?).
    Body
    Syrupy, thick and milky. Fills all corners of my mouth. Rolls across the tongue.
    Palate
    Peaty. Salty sweet, with bready, cerealy notes. Oats? Buttered rye toast.
    Finish
    Short but lingering finish. Bitter, then turns sweet sherry.

    Great texture - definitely quaffable. Tastes alright too. The main pleasure though, is rolling this one around the mouth.

    Soft sweetness and a slightly astringent grain are immediately present, but smoke and tobacco, toffee, fruit and malt make appearances as well.
    Body
    Gorgeous texture, milky almost. And the flavour impact seems to start at the tip of the tongue, waft over the middle, and then poke around elsewhere at will.
    Palate
    Toffee and barley. The sweet grain whisky is balanced head-to-head with a peatiness that creates a bittersweet chewiness in the middle. Again, it activates all parts of your mouth and throat with flavours, texture, and heat.
    Finish
    Fades gently with some smoke and shortbread but leaves the taste of a used wet wood cutting-board.

    Great balance in this whisky. Okay, it isnt fantastic stuff that will win awards in blind tastings of premium whiskies, but it is very good value and very delicious. Great warm-up dram, great first time tipple, great ubiquitous bottle-on-the-shelf.
