The second tasting of tonight is one Aaron picked out. I want to preface this review by saying that I really do not like peated whiskeys. There is something about that peat flavor that reminds me of bog mummies. It doesn't help that peat has a bandage flavor and reminds me of regular mummies. I have a hard time getting past it.
Their box claimed to be perfection on the palate and the best whiskey in the world. High expectation should have a higher than expected delivery.
Color: Pale gold
Price: 54 @ Bevmo
Alcohol Content: 46%
Nose: Disappointment, hesitation. The medicinal flavor hits you right at the start. It also has a very strong smoke scent. I imagine it's what fire logs wrapped in gauze smell like.
Taste: Salt water, burnt things, as if a hospital in Hawaii burnt their medical waste.
Finish: My mouth went numb.
Notes: No. Not for me. If you want to camp next to a bog and eat dirt than this is for you. But this is not for me at all.
60/100
