The nose and palate reminds me a lot of Mackmyra Svensk ek - a hint of vanilla and some green grass are the tastes that stand out the most to me. However, the finish is the most spicy I have ever had in a whisky. The strong taste of black pepper lingers for a long while after you took the last sip. There is no peat at all, but the strong spice-cocktail might be confused with a peaty finish. I would not prioritize to buy this bottle again when it’s empty, but if I find it cheap or have some extra cash I might buy another one just for the special taste and story behind it.

Mediocre whisky but its ok. On the nose you will find pear and apples, fresh green fruits in general. I like the nose. On the taste it goes over to a dry mouth feel with vanilla, and the vanilla will keep going for a while.
Light and sweet on the nose, some citrus and pear. Light body, lemon and pear with a light spiced finish
Quality is really bad taken the price. Should have been left in the barrel for couple of years.
Spicy and fruity. Good amount of smoke, not too much. Light and nice burn.
Not bad. Kind of fruity, bit of peat, slight burn on the finish.
