24 Days of Whisk(e)y - Day 3

Hump ... DAY! Whisk(e)y Wednesday (:

Ready to check this one out. The nose is faint and malty. First thought is an Irish or Scotch. I get some apple, pear and honey as well. The taste is apple and malty - but it seems more like a Scotch than an Irish Whiskey, that's for sure.

The finish is nice - malty, does hang around for a while with a touch of spice on the backend. This seemed around 45% ABV so I was hesitant to add water - and water turned it even more sweet, certainly better without

Overall, I like this quite a bit, giving it a 4.0/5.0. 

Tonight we were drinking Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair, Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 46.3% ABV, Distilled on Islay, Scotland - no age statement, but estimated to be a blend of 7 to 10 year, unpeated. I tasted it a bit more after knowing what it was - and I did find a little bit of talcum powder as well, which is something I have found in unpeated Scotch before. This cost me just under $50, at that price I give this a thumbs up, cheers!
