Tasting Notes
"Anyone see the Amex ad with Tina Fey when she absent mindedly snacks on a bag of potpourri in the check out line of a store? This is the liquid equivalent to what that must taste like. The wood distracts so heavily from any nuances this whisky might have, and has a very strong acetone aroma to boot. If you like super perfumey and oaky whisky, give it a try. You might at least say, "Hmmmm. Interesting..." if you don't think "yum.""
