Tasting notes
Nose: This is sweet and oaky. At first there’s a spicy oak with sweetness surrounding it. There’s an unpleasant piney side to it which makes the wood notes pointy and aggressive. It doesn’t help that the spirit is young and quite harsh. There’s a peppermint note on top and a hint of sweet liquorice underneath with a small spot of funky complexity attached to it. This is a boring nose, which lacks balance is way over-oaked.

Mouth: It starts out with a big spicyness and a very aggressive piney oakiness. When it settles there’s a young, harsh distillate in the center and a slight generic bitterness in the back. There’s a hint of honey and tropical fruits floating around but they are not highlighted in any way. It feels simple and lacks any complexity.

Finish: The transition makes the spicyness disperse and gives way to a massive, dry and astingent oakiness. There still is a hint of the young, harsh distillate but it’s all about the oak. After a while the oakiness switch to a more tropical fruit version with hints of coconut and the late finish is actually the best part of the journey. This is a so-and-so whisky. It’s just harsh and over-oaked. This should only be used as a mixer.
