Took a miniature with me (50 ml) , along with a small Glencairn to have some fun on a 2 1/2 hours flight. Tasted it while enjoying some great Scottish folk music (Ímar) on my Bose airplane headphones while the other passengers were drinking water and listening to the airplane noises... Lucky me! ;-)
It has a lovely nose of honey, hay, sweet baked apples and a hint of citrus and spices on the background. The palate is just ok with citrus sweetness, spice and apple tartness. It ends a little drying with a bit of bitterness in the end. But I like it since it gives a little complexity for a very straight forward malt.
This is a very simple, average, affordable whisky and I like it for what it is.

@1901 - now that you say that- I do seem to notice that a lot of whisky disappears from my place. Now I can just tell my doctor that it’s all angels share...yeah, that’s the ticket.
@LeeEvolved 😆 they would be fools to pass it up. A brand name like that is marketing gold. Mind you, I expect there is a freakish microclimate in the apartment that results in a 60% angel's share.
@PBMichiganWolverine @1901 - I’m open to give Jefferson’s Stuffy Apartment Aged a go...if the price is right!
@1901 😂
@PBMichiganWolverine with your recently earned SpaceX flight (congrats) you could always pitch Jefferson Starship. Oh wait.. 😀
@1901 damnit 1901. Just as I was putting together a proposition for Jefferson, with my 10% commission...😊
Isn't Jefferson Airplane already taken?
@Slainte-Mhath I see a future Jefferson’s bourbon project. Instead of Ocean Aged, it’s Airplane Aged
How does the smell and taste of whisky change on an airplane, I wonder...? It's known for food that your senses are affected while in the air, so I would guess the same is true when enjoying whisky. Interesting.
Haven't had a Tomatin yet so can't comment on the whiskey. However, I do agree about Imar. Mohsen Amino is some box player.
Give the 14 year port wood a try. So good
