Tasting Notes
"Wet dog is the primary aroma on the bouquet, with notes of chocolate, smoke, and grain detectable. On the palate, the flavor profile is out of balance with a cloying sweetness playing against an unpleasantly acrid smokiness. There is an unpleasant note reminiscent of burnt plastic, but, mercifully, the finish is quick and short. This is a very unpleasant whiskey and cannot be recommended. "
