Uh oh, sawdust is the first note I got, which led to cardboard. Slight lemon/oranges and floral notes, but nothing else makes me want to try a taste. The palate has some nice honey and vanilla up front but subsided into a clash of hot alcohol (even with time and water) and just other mineral nastiness. Someone that likes a nose full of perfume, with a similar taste might get into this, but it’s just not for me. I HAVE had a nice Fettercairn from Battlehill, so I don’t think it’s an independent issue. The theme of this is going to be “The Lumberjack” by Jackyl. Yeah, I went there. Sorry @Generously_Paul, at least we get to cross it off our list as completed. 1.5.

If you like honey like I do, you’ll like it a lot.
Wow, am I the only one that got all those berry notes? Let’s hope that fettercairn can redeem the Battlehill reputation next round
