The nose starts moderately sour with golden raisins, lemon juice and light sea salt caramel then cocoa powder dusted prunes and toasted hazelnuts followed by balsamic strawberries, lychee and grapefruit pith that transitions to very light baking spices with medium ethanol burn. The taste is a thin mouthfeel starting moderately sour with golden raisins, lemon juice and moderate ocean brine then a moderately bitter and sour spice that slowly fades to chalk, cocoa powder dusted prunes and toasted hazelnuts followed by balsamic strawberries, lychee and grapefruit pith that transitions to cloves, ginger and moderately ashy oak spice with medium ethanol burn. The finish is medium length with dark chocolate covered raisins, toasted almonds, cloves, ginger, black pepper and mildly ashy oak. Overall, this was an average whiskey that the nose is moderately sour that took some effort to find other notes besides lemon, raisin and salt the palate is a thinner mouthfeel than expected that veers towards a moderate bitter spice with a chalky saltiness with bolder flavors than the nose but still moderately sour before finishing with an enjoyable dark chocolate, toasted nuts and light ashy spices. I’m more adverse to sour and bitter spices than most, so this might turn out to be more favorable on other palates than mine, but this comes across too sour and bitter for me to find worthy of a purchase. A huge thanks to @PBMichiganWolverine for providing a sample of this Feis Ile bottle for me to try.
