Balance:
OK 
Best served:
Mixed 
Theme(s):
New spirit, dough, grain (rye, corn), mixed fruit 
In a nutshell:
The stench of new spirit dominates as mild shimmers of grain and sweet fruit struggle to outshine the dark cloud of alcohol that sits in the glass. On the palate the whisky releases some sweet notes of mixed fruit salad, but these are torn down by the strike of alcohol and musty new spirit. The finish is mild and lingering, impressive but not very enjoyable given the flavour profile. Very disappointed.
