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.
Color: Chinese tea
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.
Color: Brass knuckles
Nose: 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.
