Blended Whiskey

Totally Unpeated

This is an extremely well-known expression, a Blended Whiskey that is very popular among the general public.

Let's Taste It : 

On the nose, vanilla, honey and red fruits, mixed with almond and a few cereals, which is confirmed as soon as it enters the mouth. Sandalwood. Armenian paper. Young apple, mint leaf. It's mixed with a hint of molasses, caramel and lemon, and on the finish there's a touch of coarse salt and a note of gooseberry. It's a bit pungent, not a very long aftertaste. Damp red earth. Slight acidity. Varnished wood. A touch of solvent at the end. Cola. 

In Short, 

It's not bad at all. Except for the finish, which is a bit too rough. It's good value for money for beginners, but of little interest to experts.
