Remarks:
well, like the name “Special Reserve” suggest that it is special, it is indeed something special. But not in an amazing way, rather it is special disappointing and very special round and short in the finish. Was nice to try during an event but I wouldn’t get a big bottle of it. Also I don’t need to have it again.

Overall I rate this Whisky:

  • Nose:
    to me it feels very alcoholic in the nose for just 40% ABV.
    Sweet and malty in it’s flavors with a few fruits but the alcoholic stinging is a bit annoying

  • Taste:
    very smooth, soft and round. Seet with a few fruits as well as the malt again. Nothing wrong here but also nothing special.

  • Finish:
    wow that was very short. went down damn quick.
    Not many flavors to be found here. Just a bit dry at the end.
