In Ecuador, where i live, there is this small province called Imbabura. Less than 500.000 people live in the whole province, but guess what, there seems to be a whiskey distillery in there. (I lnow, whiskey with an "e").
I have a lot of problems to called this a Whiskey, and not only because of the "e", but really because on the label it says that it has a honey infusion in it.
San Juan de Modogoñez is the name of this blended of cereals that they called whiskey. Bottled at 41.3%abv, golden color.
On the nose, this is a honeycomb. Tons of bee honey. Sawdust, recently cut grass and mountainside. Milk and honey. It is a breakfast. Powdery, coffee and milk. Not bad, just very honeyed.
On the palate, it is all about acid fruits, like lulo fruit. Sawdust, various cereals and a little watery.
Aftertaste is a little below average. Recently polished wood, paper. It gives you this feeling of an old library.
Overall, this is not the best spirit in the world, but i don't find it bad at all. It is nothing memorable, but if you ever get to taste this one, you are not going to have an off-putting experience or any of that sort. My score for this dram that fails to follow the whisky laws to be called that, is 77 over 100.
