Nose - (w/o water) Savory sweet, sweet candied ginger spice, light caramel, bananas, sweet nuts (w/o water) not much change, just a tiny bit more muted Taste - (w/o water) Ginger/chili spice/tingle, sweet savory meaty sweetness, sweet nuts, bananas, toasted barley, hints of chocolate, bit thin (w/ water) Less spice, more metallic, more bitter nut skins, weird savory sweet jerky Finish - (w/o water) Lingering white pepper tingle, sweet caramel, chocolate, banana walnut bread, light metallic notes (w/ water) Less tingle, more metallic finish, banana walnut chocolate bread Score - 73/100 Final Thoughts - This was an interesting one in that it had what I think is the meaty notes from the garry oak combined with the sweet youthful malt that Westland has. Having done the distillery tour, I've had a chance to try some of the toasted barley & it really comes through in the spirit here. This is unique for sure but the flavor combinations & metallic ending notes just aren't for me. Would I drink it if offered? - No Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No
