I took some time to go through this one. This is a William & Grants whisky selected by Total Wine and branded by them through Quality Spirits International company. Visually this whisky is thin and young although its color is a medium dark copper. The finish in french wine cask must have brought a darker color to it.
On the nose, I first had caramel and toffee. Then i also got some apple and pear, but the sugar alcohol comes strong and not elegantly. It’s definitely young, thin, not creamy and full.
On the palate it’s like a licoir type of feeling. Very thin in the mouth, not developing the flavors in the aroma. I got some of the french wine finish notes in the beginning, like caramel, raisin (very subtle) and then everything vanishes and you’re left with sugar alcohol notes. No finish at all. As soon as the alcohol evaporates, very little is left.
For this price point, it’s good for beginners and for drinks. The experience is not full nor rewarding. But it’s ok as a cheap dram.
