Taster

Nose: Intensely phenolic. Smoky, rooty at first but the smoke fades away and does not leave much behind.

Palate: Sweet but quite diluted.Watery midpalate. The smoke is there but not much else. Maybe a faint shellfish note.

Finish: Short, thin. With a hint of liquorice and ginger.

Comment: A thin whisky. Quite disappointing. I was expecting body and oiliness.

Score: 7
