Old Smuggler Blended Scotch Whisky

Found a dusty old bottle in Dad's cabinet, probably 25 years since opening. Only a few drams were left at the bottom, so perhaps a fair test: N: sweet wheat bread, acetone T: thin mouthfeel, astringent, light speyside blend notes but hard to get to. peaches, barley, rye bread crust. light smoke. F: too weak to burn, and a punishment is a surprisingly long bitter aftertaste. faint raisins, cloves, apple skins. would never recommend, but etched in memory of an evening with family exploring the liquor cabinet!

Found this in my father-in-law’s alcohol cabinet - it tasted diluted and just poor in general. It gave me the impression it was grabbed from one of the bottom shelves of a nearby supermarket.
