Not much on the nose. Some citrus among the light wafts of alcohol. Initially not much flavour at all. A little bit of creamy toffee and peppery spice. The bitterness of the pepper lingers a little, but all in all a very muted (watered down) dram. Having said that, I wasn’t expecting much but it’s surprisingly smooth and sippable for the only whiskey available on a warm Egyptian winter evening.
