nose- scotch scotch scotch. bit alcohol burn when neat. a half tsp water tones down and smells pleasant. palate- light orange, little butterscotch, ashy barely smoke, smooth easy drinker that tastes like scotch. can definitely pick up on a decent amount of grain whisky. there is a little iodine on the back half, probably from the talisker. if there are limited options, this is a go-to sipper when it's crunch time. 84/100
