Nose: Wet brown cardboard boxes. Plywood sawdust. Grass clippings. A trace of vanilla and aniseed, some grainy ethanol and a whiff of fly spray. Very faint overall – there is virtually no nose.
Palate: Light, nondescript arrival with brown sugar notes. There is no development. The texture is less dense than water.
Finish: Very short. There is no finish other than a mild soapy ethanol note, which leaves a trace sweetness in the mouth.
This is incredibly thin, watery and gutless – it’s like drinking a dilute shot of vodka to which a few drops of whisky have been added. The only complimentary thing I can say is that it is so lacking in personality that it even lacks offensive notes.
It’s not the worst whiskey I’ve ever tasted – far from it – but it is without question the most anaemic. As a mixer all it adds is a vague suggestion of “brown spirit”.
