Comments Although we didn't record it as such, this is undoubtedly a Wm.Cadenhead bottling
Members' comments "Unusual - nose a bit funny, but improves after a while of breathing. Not at all bad after the addition of water". "Too powerful, with alcoholic skin-removing effect. Unusual and interesting malt". "Queer, sweet finish. Leaves a lot to be desired for a 14 year old". "A whisky with a pleasant nose but such an unusual taste destroys the effect". "I find it extremely hard to quantify or define". "I hope they burnt the cask". "Don't like it. Has all the wrong flavours". "Tastes like old stale sherry". "A hotch potch of disconnected tastes". "If a whisky is different, this is it. Not at all undrinkable. One to sit with for a long time thinking".
