Paul John Brilliance Single Malt

I was gifted a bottle by some dinner guests last night—-popped it open and shared with the offerings for the night. This is one of those that is designed to please everyone. You can’t go in expecting a whirlwind of complexity or a Lagavulin gut punch. But it’s one of those that when offered to 10 guests last night, all 10 would enjoy. I had this out, along with Lagavulin 2018 Feis Ile, an Oregon Pinot, and a crispy French white. He Lag remained untouched, while this was 1/2empty, and the two wines are fully empty. Shows you the relative scale of where this falls. Meant for the non-scotch /whiskey enthusiast. Very much like a Balvenie 12—-except a bit stronger. Heather and honey, green apples. Cereals, a bit of floral lavender. Not one for the seasoned veteran, but very much a non-gender specific crowd pleaser .

Fresh and young.

Good, and overpriced

braun. Geruch stark, warm, fruchtig. Im Geschmack sehr alkholisch, bissig. Dann aber süßlich und würzig. Im Abgang würzig scharf, leicht Kohle
