On the nose, an unpleasant amount of esters and menthol. Tropical fruit and green apple, but it’s pungent. I’m trying to put my finger on why I don’t like the taste. I think it’s the grain coming through too much combined with the oppressive amount of tropical fruit, which I would love on a plate in Mexico, but not in a whiskey. Mushy overripe apples is what the Distiller expert says, and that's spot on. Specifically, it tastes like red delicious apples, the worst kind of apple. I didn’t finish this dram.
