Bank Note 5 Year Scotch Whisky

Thin, watery legs after a swirl. Carmel and vanilla on the nose with hints of fruit and Carmel. Lots of grains on the initial sip with clover sweetness and roasted nut flavor. Lingering finish with a pleasant heat to finish up with more grain, casual peat smoke and an almost tobacco lingering on the pallet. Overall, the best whisky for the price that I have ever tasted. I was skeptical but it really has become a great option for an everyday kind of scotch.

This is good decent and cheap.

Tried this twice. First time was the last shot on a bottle sitting on the 12th shelf of my local bar. It was so light, I thought it was water with some peat flavor added. After I confirmed this with the bartender, we figured that the bottle was mishandled in some way. It could have been sitting up there for several years (the bar has over 1100 bottles) so who knows what might have happened to it? So this week the same bar got a brand new bottle, and the same bartender offered up a taste. Still very, very light. No backbone. No balls. Not quite smoky water again, but still not satisfying. Use it as a mixer for your friends who hate whiskey, otherwise pick something else up.
