Old Durbar Blended Reserve Whisky

Appearance: This whiskey blend, a present from my friend who was on a mission trip to Nepal, shows a light honey hue in my glass with very thin, oily legs. Nose: Bringing the glass closer for a smell, I detect fresh notes of green apple, pear, salty brine, a hint of peat, honey, flowers, and damp forest and hay. Taste: Upon sipping, the palate has a creamy texture and feels quite warm initially. Flavors of ash, honey, red apple, cherry candy, and sea brine move across the tongue. Finish: The finish is medium in length, dry, and ashy. Thoughts: This whiskey was unexpectedly good. It was a nice gift, perhaps not worth actively searching for, but still enjoyable. I'm pleased I had the chance to taste it! Many thanks to Spencer and Old Durbar! Cheers!

It is mellow, far less harsh than many other spirits. It certainly possesses honeyed depths, as indicated on the bottle. There's a smoothness to the conclusion and a lovely lingering taste (I will provide more detail in the future).

Caramel and ambiguous wood on the nose. Mild fruitiness, perhaps cherry, in the taste and finish. It glides very smoothly across the tongue with a slight warmth at the end.
