[whiskyhill at att.net]

It tasted really good while dramming it alongside the burn that feeds he distillery!

Hi Dave,


I agree with you, this is a lovely dram.  I just poured one to compare.  I cannot find the neoprene and definitely no coal-tar soap (too bad it's a great smell).  But as Harry says, different days, different smells.  Mild milk chocolate for sure and very quaffable.  I'll buy another bottle when this one runs dry.

Hi all,

I got this recently, tried it, and honestly thought it was lovely. With
a drop of water, reminded me of an Irish - maybe a Black Bush?, with a
fairly fruity smell, a mild chocolate taste (like off a Redbreast?) -
all in all, was well pleased. And others seemed to enjoy it too.

But just found this review:
Staff Tasting Notes
Neoprene or waterproof jacket. Coal-Tar soap & synthetic milk chocolate.
Slightly oxidized notes. Good, chewy mouthfeel. Slightly antiseptic –
although pleasantly so.

and I'm now wondering if (a) I'd already had a dram too many by the time
we got to this one or (b) I'm talking through my arse.

Of course, what's important is that I and my fellow journeymen enjoyed
the bottle immensely... but, you know, self-esteem and all that...

Anyone else know this whisky?

Cheers,
Dave.
