@J0nathan - not sure about this. Opened the bottle and straight away got a whiff of that TCPness, not overpowering but certainly there both in smell and taste. I'm not going to pass judgement straight away, it's just quite different from the usual Speyside stuff I go for.
Ninja edit: added a couple of drops of water and that's brought out A LOT more flavour. Again, different to what I'm used to but interesting. Will have a few more this week and share thoughts on Friday.
Oh no! Hope it grows on you and you don’t feel it’s a waste. Deffo a world away from Speyside, but it also grew and grew on me.
At the risk of being banned from the forum and undermining all my posts in this thread - I also try my whiskys with ice, and this is a great one for that. 🫣
You never try, you'll never know, eh? Certainly don't feel it's a waste and after trying it with a few drops of water I certainly see the potential for it to be a grower.
No judgement on ice from me, will give that a whirl too. Now coke on the other hand....
