Advent day 6
These reviews are the first ones I attempt and are part of the advent calendar me and my good friend Jim made for each other. These 24 whiskies I’m trying will serve as a “bootcamp” for getting me started on reviewing my whisky. As such I hope the reviews will improve over time. To clarify the process; this is a blind tasting and the post title and category is set after the reveal.
Nose
Fairly delicate nose. I’m getting some blackcurrant and cherries. Generally fruity. It almost smells a bit like a lighter rum.
Score: 21
Palate
Easy on the palate but still with a lot of flavour. Reinforces the feel of drinking a sugarcane rum rather than a whisky. There’s spices and cinnamon.
Score: 22
Finish
The finish is strong, almost as strong as the palate and slowly fades out. The cinnamon is there as well as honey and a bit of seasalt.
Score: 22
Body
A bit on the light side but packed with flavour.
Score: 22
Total: 87
Guesses:
I’ve no idea.. Doesn’t feel like a scottish whisky but perhaps a Lowland. 42% with a Rum or possibly Madeira finish.
Reveal:
Nomad Outland Whisky
ABV 41.3%

Personal note: Well that was a hard one to guess.. after looking up the price I must say it’s a very affordable whisky!
