Pig's Nose

Pig's Nose, a 5 year old blended scotch whisky by Whyte & Mackey. Price $30.00 Sampled 11/30/15 with 1.5 teaspoons of water in a Glencairn spirits nosing glass. Aroma - Very young and sour, glue, soap, sawdust, corn, light vanilla and sherry influences. Taste - Light cherrywood, inherently sweet, vegetal and with a earthiness found in that of black eyed peas. Finishes with a quick flavor and burn. Final score : 3 / 5, why a higher mark? The texture. The mouth feel on this whisky is one of the best I have ever felt in my life, I'm not sure how they manage it, but it is incredibly, smooth, oily, slick and soft. It drinks so easily that it scores decently well. You won't find anything complex here, but the flavor is fine and the mouthful makes it an absolute pleasure of a session sipper. Would definitely buy again and keep on hand.

Light, dry with mild fruitiness. Very easy drinking. Extremely good value if you like a lighter whisky. Notes state there's a smokiness about it, but I'm buggered if I can find it !
