Nose: Clean baby diaper (this scent was so distracting I couldnt pick up anything else, now that I think about it this could have been left over from the detergent the bar used) Taste: Nothing exciting, leather and a little sweet. Not many nice strong flavors present Finish: short and a bit sweet. Because the off smell could be from residual detergent I'm unsure if this whiskey is really deserving of this score but I doubt it's worth another try. Every other bourbon we had (7 in total) didnt have any similar smells so I am thinking it was just the whiskey itself.
