A whisky that I go back and forth on. There's no off notes, and nothing I find unpleasant, some really interesting flavours. . . . And yet I'm not really sold on this stuff. Flavours of citrus and the sea. Big pineapple and tropical punch, and a huge amount of sea salt, seaweed, and brine. Honey, heather. Cashews. Apples and pears. Just a touch of vanilla and caramel. Vinous. Taste is very watery and weak. An apt comparison might be eating a fruit platter as an ocean wave crashes over you. If nothing else, this stuff is certainly crying out for a higher ABV.
