Nose: Light, seaside, fruit (apple and pear), a little acetone and oil Palate: More fruit and Demerara sugar. Sweet and fruity, with some body to it. There’s some dried apricot and sultanas, with a strange artificial tang to the fruit notes. Waxy and coats the mouth. Finish: Much of the same on the finish. Medium long, which sours into the aftertaste. There are some sour fruit notes and a spicy, peppery finish. Again strangely artificial. My main takeaway from this whisky is it’s artificialness. There’s something about it that just doesn’t taste quite right. It’s difficult to put your finger on what the flavour is, but it does linger and coats the palate. Despite this, it’s actually not unpleasant to drink. It’s an OK dram, but a little plasticy. Odd.
