Comments:

Very tart, and doesn't smell like grain whisky at all (although it fits expectations better with a dribble or two of water). This is very strong whisky too, probably too strong neat. It's not often that whisky is bottled at too high a strength, but this one definitely is.

Verdict:

Not bad.
