Traveller Whiskey

I had been told this was an aweful pour. I beg to differ! While it is not the most refined or smooth whiskey is holds its own. A nice slight cherry note comes forward with just a touch of heat. Then some hints of oak and other combinations come forward and it finishes off nicely.

Nose is rather malty and barley-forward — almost like a scotch. Hint of chocolate. Palate is a bit thin and not all that interesting, to be honest, but I wouldn’t call it bad. Finish has an unusual bitter note I’m not much of a fan of. I’m not super keen on this, but it’s not offensive. Just not super flavorful or intriguing.
