Member Ratings and Notes
Adam
 
Nose of very gentle smoke and Band Aids.  Palate is lightly smokey, moderate-bodied, and lightly sweet.  Light smoke lingers in the finish.  An odd one... not much going on, besides light smoke, vague sweetness, and fleeting spice.

N: Smoke! Get your smoke here! Get your smoke!
P: Hits the tongue wet and oily, then one dimensional smoke.
F: A little cinnamon.
I always wondered why a 20 year old whiskey would be so cheap, I got my answer.  There are some lovely BenRiachs out there, this is not one of them.  Very average and forgettable.
