Max's Review

• Overall Rating: 6
• Smokiness: 2
• Sweetness: 2
• Very bitter, strong alcohol taste, medicinal like
• Needed water to cut the bitterness
• No real distinct flavours, just a light blend of fruits and oak

Steve's Review

• Overall rating: 5.5
• Smokiness: 1
• Sweetness: 4
• Doesn't taste like much really. Has a decent after taste, but weirdly no before taste. A little too alcoholy

Will's Review

• Overall Rating: 5
• Smokiness: 6
• Sweetness: 2
• It tastes very strong, even though it's only a 40%. The alcohol fumes coming off it caught me by surprise. It has a flavour of oranges, formaldehyde, sulfur.

Random Category - If this scotch were an Olympic sport, what would it be?

Max - Sailing. Kind of meh, a lot going back and forth like I can't make up my mind if I like it.
Steve - Olympic golf. Solidly a sport but missing some of the taste.
Will - Water polo. It's cool and all but I just don't get it.
