Light esters smoked barrel oak, nutmeg?
Seems light and airy
Oak, herbal
Clean finishing. Not long might turn bitter
Totally reminds me of Dewars. Very decent every day scotch.

Light - Dewar's like
Heavier than Dewar's. Oatmeal
Slight smoke, cherry
Better than Dewar's. A lot of character. My favorite Midlands single malt by far. Surprisingly Ok.

a little hot alcohol noted
For the first tasting of the evening I didn't take too many notes. Didn't need them.

Dog treat
Bordeux influence
Heavy red wine. More enjoyable late late in the finish.
Tastes like a red wine stain. I think single malts should avoid finishing in wine casks.

At $120, not a BUY, but I'd drink my neighbors bottle
