Reviewed December 14, 2020 (edited December 16, 2020)Nose - artificial strawberry, pop rocks, lemon, honey, wet grass, caramel, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - cloying strawberry, honey, orange, lemon, wet grass, sour apple, vanilla, subtle caramel, mild to moderate alcohol bite, finishing very fast with sour, chemically strawberry and young alcohol flavors. Obviously wanting not to be shown up by its bourbon cask-finished counterpart, this is somehow even worse. The strawberry pop rock flavor is really hard to ignore, making any other notes very difficult to perceive. The one thing it has going for it is how easy it is to drink. Like ‘fool the other parents at the tee-ball game into believing it’s juice in my juice box’ easy. This is the worst scotch I’ve reviewed thus far and rivals some of the worst liquors I’ve ever reviewed, bested only by Canadian Mist, which still haunts my waking moments. Down the drain you go. Never again. -

DRAM_SEEKER
Reviewed October 14, 2020EXPLORATION: The nose is so sour I think my glass might be unwashed. The sherry is distinct in the smell, along with some pepper, but I have trouble identifying the taste. Dry fruit. Bitter. Cereal? I'm not quite sure wtf I'm tasting tbh. Is this dram elusively complex? Or am I overthinking it? Probably the latter. EXHORTATION: Seek not, lest ye be in the market for tasting samplers from different barrel finishes.
