| Tasting Notes |
| Craig Daniels | Nose: caramel and a hint of mint, some bitter herbs (rocket and endive).
Palate: thin, sweet and herbal. Lacks any grip.
Finish; surprisingly short; herbal with wood bitters.
Comment: chock-a-block with spirit caramel but otherwise pretty inoffensive. Not the worst whisky I've ever tasted, but not a good one either. |
| Oliver Klimek | Colour: Dark chestnut -
Nose: Weak, lemon and orange zest are barely detectable. -
Palate: Weak and undefined, slighty bitter and herbal after some chewing around. -
Finish: Short and meaningless. -
Overall: The best thing you can say about this whisky is that it tastes of almost nothing. Which makes it different from Loch Dhu and - in a way - slightly more enjoyable. |
