No better than the 5 year old", "Very neutral flavour", "Not much character in the light malt flavour, and the alcohol does spoil the overall impression", "Warming on a cold night", "Rather sharp alcohol over a bland whisky", "Light and alcoholic", "If at first you don't succeed - the heck with it", "Watery - fades away", "Should not be called malt", |
