Month: November 2013

I thought the nose was really good and quite complex.

The palate was somewhat a surprise as it has taken on a lot of wood influence which wasn’t really suggested to that extent in the nose.

The finish, I thought was good but the bitterness took most of the attention. I happen to be really sensitive to bitter things.

Anyway, I would rate the whisky an 8.1/10. Thanks for thinking of me and I will show the product around to see what others think of it.

Overall not a bad result considering its fate a year or so ago.

Nose: Lots of malt, pine resin, Nougat, Brandy soaked pears, furniture polish.

Palate: Sweet and tannic with white pepper and nutmeg quite grippy and bitter and sappy.

Finish: Wood spice, Pistachio nougat, cereals and cinotto  and furniture polish and boiled sweet.

Hey Timmy having your whisky with Monte No 2 cigar and its awesome with it, indeed 9.2/10

Tried the Beagle this morning… yes, breakfast of champions 🙂

Wow… the nose hits hard, you can tell there’s a bit of Lark in it straight away, then it mellows, on the palate it’s bit more fiesty than the Convict & Velvet Hammer… but OH MY GOD, the length… it’s like my late grandfather talking… it just keeps going and going and going and going

It reminds me of one of those cough drops you can taste an hour later

It’s got to have one of the longest finishes of any whisky I’ve tried… superb…
