Tasting notes
Nose: This is sweet and fruity. At first there’s a spirity, quite harsh top note with a very sweet and fruity center part underneath. It smells a bit off and the distille is covered by a weird cask influence. There are notes of butterscotch and oranges, as well as a minty overlay. The overall character is perfectly fine, but the offer note really brings it down. A slight oakiness peeks through as well. This is a weid nose. It doesn’t feel like a port cask influenced nose.
Mouth: It starts out with a bland generic sweetness with a bitter background note. There’s toffee a plenty as well as a hasrh distillate note. It feels young and watered down. The palate is dry and a lemon note sits in the back, but leans towards being metallic. It feels slightly dusty and the oakiness is clearly present. It’s still weird and something feels off. It’s hard to pinpoint the exakt source.
Finish: The transition is uneventful and really shows the lack of power. The butterscotch note increases over rine and so does the weird note. The lemon switches back to oranges and the oakiness starts to take over as time passes. It’s a fairy decent oak with a mix of old, new and nutty. This is a half-decent budget whisky. It has it’s weirdness but it’s easy to drink and should satisfy less picky customers.
