Not a terrible effort. On the nose there’s dried apricot fruit, and some nuttiness, but not the typical almond or hazelnut. It almost smells like old acorns. Slightly woody on the palate, with the same odd nuttiness dominating any fruit components. Ethanol is defiantly present. All in, this feels more like a barrel aged vodka, rather than whisky. It’s almost like someone was making whisky from memory, or playing telephone. The basic components are there, just not the best examples.
