Nose - pear, apple, honey, artificial vanilla and caramel, cereal grain, floral decay, spoiled meat, rubbing alcohol, moderate ethanol burn.
Taste - cereal grain, rubbing alcohol, honey, apple, pear, caramel, vanilla, black pepper, sulphuric vegetal notes, moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium long and bright with youthful cereal grain, rubbing alcohol, and bland caramel flavors.
Wow, this is rough. It’s got a similar cheap blended scotch thing going on that the Glen Ness and Pure Scot I reviewed a few weeks back have, but this is worse. While the others graciously finish fast, the Glen Logie sticks to your tongue and lingers with this horrific cloying rubbing alcohol flavor.
There’s really nothing redeeming about this other than the price. Honestly, I’d rather drink vodka or straight grain alcohol. Thanks to @ContemplativeFox for providing the sample and subjecting me to this torture. At the very least, it’s good preparation for my vodka tasting series which is kicking off tomorrow.

@Ctrexman You know me. Distiller’s dumpster diver extraordinaire!
Back to the gutters.......love it. Great way to appreciate JWB as liquid gold in comparison
Haha, you're welcome (and also sorry)! This is in the running for worst scotch I've ever tried. I appreciate having it as a benchmark for how bad scotch can be, but it's definitely an unpleasant experience.
@pkingmartin It’s definitely in the running. There are some Canadians I might despise slightly more, but it’s close. This is probably the worst blended Scotch I’ve tried so far though.
Is this your worst whisky ever tasted? It sounds like something used to torture prisoners to give up information.
