Thank goodness, a Friday night, once again, finds me to pour this sample from the SDT group. This was provided by @Generously_Paul This would be my first venture into the Glen Spey line. The nose is pure freshly cut wood (like @LeeEvolved spot-on noted) or sappy, wet pine. Some cedar deep down. Lemon-lime citrus. Grassy/vegetal earthiness. A definite rawness or youthful quality. A rough greeting to the palate. Oily and medium in density. Funky, synthetic yet still earthy. Green grass, white pepper. There is some honey and butterscotch sweetness that comes through midway through, though brief. Three word finish: Rubber hose, white pepper, celery. This has no real satisfactory quality. Though 12 years listed, it comes through as a five year old. Raw and vegetal. Maybe as a mixer (scotch and soda) it may work better. But why would I pay $70 for a mixer where I get better flavors from a blend for a mixer. Is it horrid or undrinkable? No. But there is no real appeal. [75/100][Tasted: 3/2/18]
