I tried this one twice before settling on a rating. The malted sweetness was pleasant, but it felt thinner than I expected. Fine for a casual serve, less convincing on its own.

Even with a few drops of water, the finish turned bitter. Then it stayed sharp even after resting. One star from me.

smooth - oaky

I paid more attention to the finish on this whisky. I liked the light smoke. The only drawback was that the sweetness felt flat. Still a good pick and one I'd have again.

malty - spiced - smooth
