Rating: 7/23 Bottle kill review here. This has been a hard bottle to get through. And that's even with the majority going down the drain. I would only wish this on my worst enemies. Here we go. N: Sulfur for sure, but it isn't overwhelming like in Glen Logie, Piper's Clan, or Clan MacGregor. There's sort of a paper scent along with some faint vanilla and some apricot. A little bit of some mineral, but not in a purely watery way. It's generic and muddled, but aside from the sulphur (a big "but") it doesn't smell that bad. P: Kind of spicy up front with the sulfur sitting underneath. I get cinnamon and pepper with a bit of harshness. The mineral comes in with the apricot, which is disappointingly minimized, and also a bit of apple. There's a decent amount happening here and the majority of the flavors are totally passible, but it's boring and has that sulfur backing. There's some meatiness too, which is also a clear negative, but the sulphur is a bigger problem. F: Sulphur, mineral fruit, a bit of spice and burn. Not a good finish, but at least there's some stuff happening here and it isn't the MOST sulphuric scotch I've tried (see: Piper's Clan or Clan MacGregor). - Conclusion - This isn't an exciting outcome, but I stand by my initial rating of 7. It's in the Pure Scot (the regular, not the Virgin Oak) range, but just a bit better due to its substantially reduced harshness (even though I probably prefer the Pure Scot flavor). This is a bad Scotch that I would turn down if offered if I could do so tactfully. It's not so bad as Southern Comfort, which I carry a glove to slap anyone who offers it to me across the face with. That's why it's a 7, not a 0.
