Nose - honey, pear, cereal grain, floral notes, subtle sulphur, mild to moderate ethanol burn.
Taste - pear, cereal grain, apple, hay, slight meatiness, bitter herbal and floral notes, moderate alcohol bite, finishing fast and bright with bitter dry grass and young grain flavors.
This tastes like cheap blended scotch, but not quite as good. It’s obviously very young; the bright graininess is front and center. The worst part is the meaty sulphureous thread that runs through the entire experience. The one saving grace is the lightning fast finish. At least that meatiness doesn’t linger for long.

Yeah, this was miserable. I found their age statement scotches to be drinkable, but not as good as pretty much any other single malt with an age statement I've tried.
@Ctrexman Yes and yes. I think Oregon Spirit is the only TW brand I haven’t hated so far. At $22 a bottle, this isn’t even cheap enough to make it a good budget pick.
So it tastes awful.....but the awful is over quick. Is this a Total wine product?
