Taster
Nose: There's some alcohol, but the whisky's gone missing.
Palate: Sweet and some heat from alcohol. If you look hard enough there's some meaty notes.
Finish: Quick.
Comment: Poor.
Score: 6
Taster
Nose: Flowery, vegetal, piney.
Palate: Green flavours. Refreshing. Tingly.
Finish: Tingly. Warming.
Comment: Extraordinarily pale colour. The floweriness was perhaps a hint at Mortlach but, if I were served this out of context, would I recognise it as whisky? I might guess at aquavit rather than usquebaugh.
Score: 6.5
