Hey pavv, how's things??
Yeah, Frysk Hynder is basicly, awfull. Bad use of casks is basicly their main fault. Instead of using one or two type of casks, they get their hands on whatever they can. There are huge variations between casks, with no real distillery character. Someone once commented that the new spirit shows some promise, and with a good casks and few more years of maturation, could make a nice single malt.
Millstone, the new Dutch single malt, shows a lot of promise, and is actually quite nice at only 5 years old. My only issue would be that it is bottled at 40%. I think it would do quite nice at 45-46%, but that's me.
An old bottling of Macallan 18 years old is not meant for mixing with Coca Cola.
