What a story! I am sipping whisky distilled in Czechoslovakia - behind the Iron Curtain. It is very malty, smooth and kind of velvet on the tongue. No special complexity in the taste, but I was surprised with how smooth and clean this one is - barley and oak. And that is pretty much it, no fireworks here. Nevertheless - this is a very nice "world" whisky - and I am adding 1 star for the story :) (32EUR)
