TheCultureMind 2.0

Whisky Club 1 - the inaugural bottle. I picked this up for $50 AUD at Dan Murphys with the promise of it being a single malt from the Spey region. It was light, clear and fairly inoffensive. Which to me is a problem as I prefer my scotch to have a bit of personality and character. Extremely subtle, nose was soft hinting at honey and light notfes of wood. Soft taste and negligible finish. Glad I tried it, probably wouldn't buy it again.

Jon Bracamonte 3.0

First time trying this one (Jan 2018). mild and sweet to the nose. Earthy and fuller than Chivas on the tongue. Smooth entry and nice subtle after taste.

Wystan 2.0

Initial strong flavor front tongue which rises to roof of mouth. Left feeling when it should build that I am left flat.

Matt West1 4.5

Dessert in a glass. Creme brulee and cantaloupe with a squint of leather
