Tolon Tolon Whiskey Cream

This is darker in color than Bailey's is and it has that Tolon Tolon smell. Tasting it, there are some weird herbal flavors coming through. It is a bit richer and more whiskey-forward than Bailey's is, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. Bizarrely, I now realize that Tolon Tolon tastes like Clan MacGregor mixed with something else. It's not very appealing, despite tasting more obviously like it is made with whiskey. Sure, Bailey's is a bit harsher and tastes more like it might be made with vodka, but its flavor is richer and fruitier with cleaner floral elements, making it taste more like it was made with Irish Whiskey and having flavors that go better with cream. The nose is more earthy, meaty, and grassy like scotch than Bailey's sweet, creamy, slightly sour, fruity, and floral notes. It smells woody and ages, but also like cream, so it smells like it might be slightly rotten. The palate is creamy and rich with a sort of chocolatey element but also a lot fair bit of hay. It isn't super sweet, but it clearly does have some sugar. I could easily believe that this is low-end scotch mixed with some sugar and cream. It's not terrible, but it's also kind of like a low-end cocktail. Bailey's has a more enticing smell that is reminiscent of Christmas with it's fruity flavor coming across like candied fruit in a fruitcake and bringing with it notions of nutmeg and allspice. Bailey's is also way creamier with a sort of eggnog consistency and flavor going on. Bailey's has a bit of an odd tart note, but it's easy to attribute that to whiskey, just as if it were eggnog mixed with whiskey. The more chocolatey flavor here is nice, but it isn't what I want out of a whiskey cream (though it isn't bad). The scotch flavor isn't inherently bad, but at the end of the day. I'm looking for something more festive and mixable when I have whiskey cream. This would still be good by a fire, but I'd rather have some decent scotch and whiskey cream separately. The scotch notes aren't awful, but they do really pollute the flavor of this, particularly since the scotch is clearly not of high quality.
