This whisky, which has been left open for over two years, may have lost its original aroma. Unfortunately, since I didn’t take notes when I first tasted it, I can’t recall how much it has oxidized or how it originally was. At first, a “dry” smoky scent hits the nose. There’s also a sharp yet faint aroma in the background. As soon as you take a sip, that dry scent translates directly into a similar sensation in the mouth. This is immediately followed by a creamy and lemony flavor that leaves a tingling and burning sensation on the lips and in the mouth. The burning in the throat comes after the dryness and lingers for quite some time.
