Arran 10 Year

Nose is mild and taste is bland. Stingy and charmless finish. 21/19/19/18 = 77

Indistinct in some ways... kind of a muddled flavor. Perhaps more of an alcohol punch than i prefer. it has that strong flavor on the finish that first freaked me out about scotch. But it's also interesting... I feel like I haven't really figured it out completely. I'd like to save some from this bottle and revisit it when my palette improves. after having it again... it's malty. to me that's a kind of boring but mildly offensive carpety sick taste. it's interesting that I'm not detecting any fruity flavors in substantive ways... that probably means my palette is way underdeveloped.

Nose - 3.00 Taste - 2.50 Aftertaste - 2.50 Overall - 2.60

Sharp, with a smoky aftertaste. Lots of flavors but that makes them hard to distinguish. 4/20/17
