The nose starts with pain and slightly watered-down lemon pledge concentrate followed by sour orange juice then dill, pickle juice and burnt caraway seeds with medium ethanol burn. The taste is a medium mouthfeel starting with light caramel and pears before the sour lemon pledge takes over along with a high spice that transitions to extremely bitter notes of clay, pickling spices and cigarette ashtray water with medium ethanol burn. The finish is medium length with cigarette ash, ground caraway seeds, pickling spices, sour orange juice, and clay. No surprise at all that LAWS was disappointing with a nose that starts with a light jab to your nose followed by a combination of floor cleaner, citrus, pickle juice and burnt spices that surprisingly is pleasant at first on the taste before that floor cleaner with a high drying spice takes over and fades to a mixture of dirt, clay, spices and cigarette ash that finishes with light fruit, some rye spice and mainly earthy/ashy bitterness. Well it appears that I have saved the worst LAWS, hopefully soon to be rebranded CRIMES, for last. I did a side by side comparison with their four grain and this is worse but not quite my least favorite whiskey of Penderyn 12-year ruby cask. A big thanks to @ctbeck11 for the samples of LAWS to review.
