Journeyman Distillery Silver Cross Four Grain Whiskey

Not sure if its just my bottle, something is off. Kind of getting a synthetic cork taste in the whiskey. Silky texture, vegetal notes, a metallic vanilla, lower alcohol makes it "smooth". Adding ice or water does not help, it drowns pretty quickly. I was hopeful for this one based on some other reviews from YouTube but for me, its not a favorable pour.

Very smooth and warm. Tastes better than it smells. Has all good stuff.

Spicey, sweet, fade

Sweet and some strong flavor with plenty of heat

Malty young whisky. Nothing too crazy here, basic blend of american whisky here
