Rating: 10/23 N: Light, kind of grainy, with a lemon peel bite and some alcohol. Not a lot happening here, but nothing bad going on either. P: Not as sweet as Dewar's 15 and definitely a bit more youthful, but not a lot more. I would probably have put this in the 10 to 12 year range and I placed Dewar's 15 at 12. years too. This is less rich and oily, but it has some nice mineral, lemon, stony creek water, dry grass, and faintly meaty (in a good way) flavors. The flavors are more distinct here and although they come across as young they are fairly well executed. Still, there's clear youthful alcohol with a white pepper spiciness to it that burns slightly at times. F: Bitter with some sweet creek water. Grassy with some lingering white pepper. Actually a pretty decent finish. - Conclusion - This is OK. I'd definitely put it a bit below Dewar's 15, but it's not objectionable. I wouldn't want to sip it though so it isn't making me think more highly of the broader Hunter Laing line. Probably an 11, but it could be a 10 because of the harshness. I think I'm giving it a 10.
