Brenne French Single Malt Whisky

Smells of amaretto and vanilla immediately. Very light color with thin legs. Taste is very sweet, and we can't help but think of Jiffy blueberry muffins or blueberry Ego waffles. It's ... interesting? A bit of water just amps that blueberry oddness.

Very fruity and floral nose. It is quite pleasant to smell. This would make an appealing perfume or candle. The initial taste is more like wine than whiskey. The big surprise is when you begin to taste the barrel at the end, the woody, nutty flavor doesn't mix well with the sweet and floral. Not bad by a long shot, but not something I am willing to spend another $70 on again, either.

orange, some chocolate

It is always interesting to taste whiskies that don't belong to the 5 classic countries. This Brenne Organic Single malt comes from France, and it belongs to Allison Parc, an entreprenuer with a family tradition in spirits. This whisky has been matured in Limousin oak and french cognac casks. Bottled at 40%abv, golden color. On the nose, a little different. Starts with this odd (but strangely attractive) aroma of a vanilla cake that is about to go bad; like it is on the last day you can eat it. It is incredible how accurate that note is. Apple juice and water balloons. Maize; feels young and grainy. Every aroma here reminds me of a circus. Slight Pepper. Then, i get an aroma of some ecuadorian colas, called "Tropical", "Fioravanti" and "Gallito"; which i bet you have your own versions in your countries, they are pink / Red / yellow cola. On the palate, very fruity. It is so fruity that this doesn't feel like whisky, but rather a fruit juice. Peaches, papaya and melon. It is exactly like that. Detergent. Again this circus sensation, not bad, just weird. Aftertaste is more of the same strange stuff. Papaya juice from the ecuadorian mountains. Hints of sulphur. Cheap plastic and malted barley. Overall, this is not bad, but it is not good either. It is a completely different dram from the usual ones you always drink. Mostly fruity, but unlike speyside whiskies, this feels like mountain fruit juice. There is some roughness here and there and everything is not very balanced. I don't think it is off-putting or bad, just strange. You won't sit and drink the whole bottle with a couple of friends. A different experience, my score for it is 72 over 100.

Very fruit forward with a hint of clove. Very smooth drinker, when your in the mood for something light and tasteful.
