Neat. Neck pour. Found this unopened in my collection. I bet it’s 10+ years old. It’s a 375 ml, perfectly sealed and stash.
This is fruity. Strawberries, apricots, even some lemon - has this acidity to the nose. Hint of toasted walnuts. Lots of vanilla. Light oak. Honestly, this nose is better than I was expecting. It has more character to it.
Watery thin texture. Subtle sweetness and grain up front on the tongue. Transitions to vanilla and combination of apricots and apple. Slight hint of oak on the finish. Zero depth here. Little acidic and sour. Geez, the aftertaste reminds me of aftertaste of licking a 9v battery.
Not a fan. The nose was nice but the taste is a let down. One of my least favorite single malts I have explored.
