Appearance: Slightly deeper than straw, golden orange.

Nose: Caramel, butter, vanilla, honey, sweet apple, peach, touch of sweet orange, lemon. Nose is sweet and malty, buttery, rich. Luscious but simple.

Palate: Honey, grain spirit spike, butter, vanilla and toffee. Butterscotch. Sweet and simple. Nothing to dislike except a bit too much spike.

Finish: Peppery honey, vanilla, grain spirits.

With Water: Spirits milder in the nose, more honey and vanilla. Soft flavor, slightly more woody / oaky. Works fine.

Overall: Very sweet and caramel, vanilla. Not at all complex. Tastes nice, but the spirit spike is a bit too much. For this price, no complaints, but I prefer Teachers and probably Cutty Sark as well. After a couple shots, this gets boring.

Grain malt, alcohol, barley malt, sulfur, watery with warming cut.

Sharp grain and soft barley malt, little bit watery and spicy.

N- Toffee with hint of smokes, burnt grass, black tea and wet towel. Mineral and sour youghurt.

P- Creamy, peppery, charred wood and jammy. Grainy and spicy notes follow thru.

F- Short, warm peppery remains, oily and heavy, preferred with ice or water. — at The Whisky Bar, Kuala Lumpur.
