Member Ratings and Notes

Tim

N:A faint and almost briny hint of smoke in the background; a lightly mineral presence with some noticeable young malt up front. Faintly grassy, there's a smell that almost smells like Comet cleanser (and not in an altogether bad way). Lightly honeyed. Later, a bit of vanilla.

P: Malt upfront, a nice dash of chili oil. A subtle oily quality liek a pair of used work gloves. Faintly greasy. Plenty of heat.

F: Heat initially, a lightly briny reemergence on the finish, lightly briny again and slightly mentholated; a touch of light waxines.

Unusual but not bad. Fun in a zippy, young whisky kind of way.

Sku

Nose: very light with grainy/grassy notes and a bit of wet cardboard.

Palate: Clean, malty palate with emerging sweetness.

Finish: The malt yields to a more coastal profile with seaweed and a minerally character.

Decent stuff.
