First of all, I want to give a huge thanks to Mikael and the Distiller team. I asked them to put several independent bottlers that our little tasting team will be going through, and they did it with amazing turnaround. Thanks guys! ( now if you can teach our IT team on the same turnaround for requests...😊). So this was my offering to the tasting team. We have maybe 2 more rounds to go, and we’ll have covered a sample from every operating Scottish distillery, and 2-3 ghosted ones too. I don’t know what the hell to write about this. I already forgot what it taste like. This is like that time in college art class ( the only subject I never got an A+ ). You’re sitting there listening to the teacher about some Renaissance era painter, and then you’re supposed to mimic his drawing after looking at a few examples. But if you found art dismally boring and useless ( cut me some slack, I was a triple chemical engineering, biochemistry and political science major), then you would’ve been like me and literally forget what the hell you looked at. Of course the teacher gets mad, and gives you a D-. You’re probably wondering what the hell was I doing take art class??! There was a pretty girl involved. And she was so worth the hit to my GPA. So goes this. I think this had a faint floral nose like honeysuckles ( which by the way, are a freakin pain to get rid of, they take over the entire garden...anyway I digress ). Taste? I don’t know. What the hell. Maybe faint citrus-y? Like an orange peel dipped in turpentine? Who gives a rat’s ass...no one’s gonna buy it after reading the next few upcoming reviews. @Generously_Paul knock this out early in the game too. And @LeeEvolved @Generously_Paul @Telex @Scott_E I won’t be offended if you guys share this with a spittoon. Two stars and not one because at least I didn’t gag.

That’s great news @mikael. I hope it’s all well integrated and we can keep everything looking clean. If you’ve ever been on the Barreled app you’ll know how messy things can get when anyone can add anything
Happy to help, in very short order you pros will be able to add these bottles yourselves!
@LeeEvolved yeah...pretty ‘craft’-y. Okay that was lame.
I’m sure this one will be fine. We’ve been making our way through some less than stellar whiskies but I think they all add something to the larger, Scottish whisky painting we are working on as a group. See how I tied this comment to your review? It was a fun read. Cheers to that @PBMichiganWolverine.
@Generously_Paul. Yeah...one of those moods 😊
@PBMichiganWolverine is feisty tonight!
