Nose: Some fruit, apples and peaches to be specific. Malt. Very strong ethanol smell. Almost smells like Irish Poitín. Palate: Same fruits as the nose. Some spice. Oak. Hints of sweet jam. Not much to write. Pretty simple. Finish: Medium. Spice ending stronger and blending with some smokiness. Warm. Overall Thoughts: I know it’s a Total Wine house brand so it’s already a bad start. Not a great dram. Definitely meant for kitschy Scotch cocktails. The smell is the most interesting part and it’s not particularly pleasant. Was excited to find a cheap sample but definitely was not setting my expectations high. Meh.
