Blind tasting
Nose: get a little bit of that funkiness early on in a bottle of old pulteney. A little bourbon. Not much else.
Taste: not too complex. Sort of bourbony. Falls flat. Maybe slight note of smoke at the end. Adequate but not really interesting
Wood: ex bourbon
Distillery?

*** I’m amazed to find this is from balvenie. I had previously rated this much higher but now am underwhelmed by it. I was so surprised I dug out an old sample and tried it for comparison. Very interesting…
