N: ambrosia rice pudding straight from the tin, a little harshness of sour green apples provides a sharp contrast. A little syrupy sugary sweetness and a hint of dried fruits. P: wood forward, dry tobacco, plenty of barley and biscuit with more sharp sour apple crunch. Some chary to smoky undertones. F: medium. chocolaty with brown sugar sweetness and some drying tobacco or leathery final flavours. The nose is the best thing here as I see (smell?) it. I think the palate under-delivers a little from the initial nose. There is some roughness I think, but it isn’t too distracting or detracting. Pleasant and session-able, but nothing I’m writing home about. Would gladly drink again if offered but not something I’ll go hunting for. Distiller whisky taste #87
