Taster

Nose: Rich and silky. Luxurious nose with a threat of alcohol to come.

Palate: Mouth-watering spice but otherwise little of distinction.

Finish: Shorter than expected. Finishes on a high but loses flavours along the way.

Comment: I wasn't surprised to learn this was a single grain whisky.

Score: 6.8

Taster

Nose: Lightly smoky. Tequila-like. Lime. Slightly musty.

Palate: Light. Sugary. Icing sugar. Citrus oil.

Finish: Key lime pie. Pastry.

Comment: Such a long ageing has made the bourbon wood very dominating. The crisp, cleansing, hint of pine in the distillery bottling better suited a single grain.

Score: 7.8
