BENDT No. 5

Many reviews on other sites mention "smooth." It is quite light, without any harshness or offensive notes, making it suitable if you prefer a whiskey akin to a bottled highball. Perhaps it's geared towards newcomers, which is perfectly fine. The aroma is faint alcohol and apple, with little else discernible. If you detect caramel, vanilla, or other nuances, you must have a keen sense of smell or a vivid imagination. The flavor is essentially water with a whisper of whiskey – you know it's whiskey, but that's about it. It's certainly not bad; I've had truly bad spirits, and this isn't one of them. It's just a very light, clean tasting whiskey.

👃: prominent fruit and vanilla aromas, reminiscent of ambrosia 👅: the taste is quite unlike the smell, featuring oily and peppery sensations with a faint whisper of smoke 🏁: the spice endures on the palate, accompanied by leather and charcoal

Good cheap whiskey. Aroma - vanilla and honey. Palate - honey, a bit of spice, very smooth.

Smell - grains, sugary/syrupy aroma. Taste - grains, sweet, spicy aftertaste.

Nose: sugary, vegetal, caramel notes. Taste: saltiness, bitterness, leather. Finish: spicy, charred wood.

It's just average for me. Not bad, but not remarkable.
