Nose: Interestingly, the nose is initially almost neutral. A touch of fruit (not more precisely definable), a hint of spice (also not more precisely definable), that's about it. The alcohol isn't at all noticeable, at least. After a while, notes of papier-mâché and damp wood emerge.

About Whisky Goodness
Hi, I'm Mayur. Whisky Goodness started as a way to keep track of the bottles I was opening — and quickly became something more considered.
I'm an SMWS member ambassador with a soft spot for single cask Scotch, Compass Box, and anything interesting from the Pacific Northwest. Over the years, I've built a collection that leans heavily into independent bottlings, cask-strength releases, and the kind of whiskies that reward a second pour.
This site is my personal record: every bottle I own, every dram I've reviewed, and a reference tool for anyone navigating the SMWS's famously cryptic code system. It's not a media outlet. There are no scores, no rankings, and nothing here was sent to me for free. Just a collector sharing what's in the cabinet.
