Grand Macnish Original

Color claro. En nariz principalmente toffee. Alcohólico. Con toques de miel, madera y almendra. Luego cereza. En boca con picor, amaderado, toffee. Oleoso. Recuerda al Ballantine's pero con más picor. Final suave con mucha nuez. Con agregado de agua es muy favorecido y suma medio punto.

Nose: Very light on the nose. Werther’s Originals butterscotch, woody, floral Palate: Fudge, honey, vanilla, caramel, summer fruit (berries), butter, herbal/floral. Finish: Medium short finish. Buttery, rich, sweet and a little floral. Woody on the aftertaste. First off, this is a quaffable dram. It’s uncomplicated, sweet, caramel-y, and vanilla. It has a nice, mellow and fairly rich mouthfeel. There are no sharp edges at all, it’s sweet, and it’s very light and buttery. However, it’s mostly one note, overly sweet and ultimately not sufficiently complex to hold your interest for long. This whisky has a particular resonance with me. My mum passed away last year. Before i was born, she worked for an insurance broker, and one of her employer’s clients was Grand Macnish. She used to get Grand Macnish offered as a discount - a perk she often took advantage of! Many years after leaving the broker, this was still a regular tipple for her and she always enjoyed it. Yesterday would have been my mum’s 84th birthday. I toasted her a happy birthday with this whisky last night, and I’m sure she’d have loved to be having a dram of it with me. Slàinte Mhaith, mum! I miss you terribly.

Not much real taste. Very much a huge alcohol taste but asa mixer it is excellent. Does have still an Alcohol tasteat end. .
