Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

Nose of bubblegum, with solvent/acetone. Smells rather rummy. On the palate is cotton candy and mild spice, followed by moderate tannins. It's a rather basic, down-the-middle, not-too-daring and kinda plain whisky. That's not to say it's bad, because it's a fine sipper and would appeal to the folks who, well, just don't like a whole lot going on in their expensive scotch (I'm talking to you, Johnnie Blue "connoisseurs"). There's not a lot to say about this, which probably says the most about it. B/B-

Andy

A boring sleeper. Glen Spey has found a way to make a blend without adding grain whisky. Congrats.

Retaste 7/09: Musty palate with a hint of sweetness. Still a B-.
