Hankey Bannister Original Blend

Nose: cereal, vanilla sweet, bit flat Palate: bit spiky, burnt caramel, alcohol burn Aftertaste: nuts, bit herbal, bitter. Feels young.

Pleasantly surprised at the nutty chocolate nose, and decent palate resembling a typical blended whiskey at this price. The biggest problem with this bottle is its aftertaste which contains a noticeable unpleasant bitterness. But for the price I got this 1 litre bottle (15 USD), it's passable.

First tasting of the evening. 3/5 bottle. The taste is strong in bad sense. Very strong and long alcoholic burning sensation. A lots of wood, tannic notes, black pepper and vodka in taste and aftertaste. Some burnt grains in the aftertaste. Nothing more. The nose alcohol burns and tickles.
