My dissapointben is immesurable, and my day is ruined.
Memes aside, this whisky certainly dissapoints.
I haven’t had much grain whisky, but there isn’t much to say about this
Nose: quite strong vanilla and wood scent, heavy bourbon influence. They say its age is around 25yrs old, but there is no layers here, not even on the palate.
Palate: You need quite a big sip, otherwise it just dissappears immediately. There is barely anything left of the vanilla from the those, it is mostly just barrel spice, wood tannins.
Finish: non existent. As i said it almost fully dissappears, it only leaves some barrel spice and bitternes behind
For a bottle named “Hedonism” this is very weak. Especially because they charge quite a bit for it.
Seriously, this is like a flat bourbon.
Since it is grain, there is probably corn in there, and it is matured in ex-bourbon casks, no wonder it smells and tastes like bourbon, only flatter.
Don’t recommend buying this.
