Nose - sweeter compared to the 12 year, there is a scent of rum but mild, alcohol is not strong on this one
Taste - for a second I thought I was drinking Bumbu, then the classic taste hit with sweet and fruity notes but leaves the palate quick as it came
Finish - got a bit of a sugary taste after the light burn settled, hangs around for a minute
Score - 2.5, confusing drink to me but not bad, they suggest putting in a whisky sour so will have to try that
Scoring Legend
5.0 - Outstanding, unmatched to others
4.5 - Excellent, I will always keep a bottle in stock if possible
4.0 - Very good, quite enjoyable to drink, can consider as a go-to for a bottle of Scotch
3.5 - Good, would taste again
3.0 - Average
2.5 - Acceptable, still drinkable.
2.0 - Inferior, able to drink but not enjoyable
1.5 and below—wouldn’t drink again unless I am desperate
