A rare mid-week tasting of an independent bottling whisky provided by @Telex for our tasting group. These later rounds of sample are scraping the rare and uncommon. A faint nose that makes it difficult to extract any aromas. What can be discerned are paint thinner, vanilla, straw with a hint of nutmeg and oak. Unlike the nose, the palate is lightly saccharine with ginger, ground cinnamon spice. This is all enveloped in a thin, watery body. What remains in the palate for a medium length of time is oak, ginger root and orange rind. The whisky lacks any depth across the nose, palate and finish. The redeeming quality is it’s sweetness. Otherwise it is a flat, lacking a true character and provides an unmemorable experience. It’s another indistinct whisky in an arena of many. [82/100][Tasted: 6/13/18]
