Ben Gay-like
Very bitter at the end like overcooked brussel sprouts
Disappointing -- no wonder Malcom IV exiled the McMurrays to Galloway

Not quite as bad as Nyquil (TM)
Dregs of Scotland
like a Dr. Doom tainted cosmic power
A scotch I won't drink again; almost as bad as Glen Garioch 8

Really light like mercury
Fruit - sweet
Down & dirty kind of scotch
Kind of hot
Bitter like overcooked brussel sprouts
Smoother & sweeter & tastier when cut. Seems like it has to be cut. Distillery produces only 100,000 liters per year.
09Q3-Hoopie October 3rd, 2009

Bluff
Perfume, floral
For a lowland, kind of viscous
Sweet, herbal, but some pepper
Holds up to the salt in the foie gras
Impressive. Pairs well with foie gras. Held up to the food. I think this is an excellent Lowland.
