Member Ratings and Notes
Chris
 
N: Apricots, a deeper sniff reveals sweet nectar and spice.
P: This is perhaps the most neutral whisky I've ever tried.  I can't really pick out any specific flavors, but it's got a really great mouth feel, and it's enjoyable in that respect.
F: Ok, now at least we've got some sweetness, not a bad way to end.

Caramel nose.  Hey, this isn't bad.  Sort of a malty-toffee flavor, light and plain.  Light spice and vanilla.  Nothing remarkable here (although Chris pointed out that this has a really good mouthfeel, and I agree), but compared to some of the other "time machine" whiskies I've had in this tasting, this one is a relief.  C+/B-
