Douglas Laings Rock Oyster Blended Scotch

Description

Appearance:Other pale yellow liquids immediately come to mind, but for civilitys sake lets just say light straw. Quick, thin legs.

Nose:Smells like a very young whisky. Oak, malted barley, disinfectant, band-aids, slight amount of coal tar, a vegetal smell which escapes me.

Palate:Honey, salt, metallic notes, copper, black pepper, mint. Ash which tends to move into the dust end of the spectrum as is overwhelms the smoke, somewhat reminiscent of charcoal.

The finish is layered with sweet notes, pepper, and smoke carrying through after swallowing. This decays quickly to something resembling Listernine mouthwash as the smoke dissipates. Not a particularly high note to end on.
