Tastes

I bought a bottle of this relatively cheaply from memory ~ $85 mark. It looked the part but man trying to get flavour out of it was like getting blood out of stone. The bottle was soon given away....in the early days I prob drank less than 20% of what I bought...the average stuff got given away pretty quick and the good stuff shared. Was a very expensive way of trying stuff so now I nearly always try before I buy. Very rare exceptions are distilleries I love, others I trust highly reviewing the bottle and generally FOMO. Case in point the Kilchoman 2018 Portwood just out (you will be mine someday soon when you land on NZ shores...) Anyhow I've cracked open a Cigar Malt sample right now so it bought back (not so fond) memories of this drop. The Cigar Malt itself is for another review. :-)
