Bastille Blended Whisky, 40% abv
Rich sweet red grapefruit with light solvent notes on the nose. Very light spices with red grapefruit Drambuie on the palate. VERY interesting. Very different. Simple and pleasing as an apéritif. Really stretches the whisky palate; close to a fortified fruit drink, but still very pleasant.

My father-in law's regular non-celebratory scotch, which I never really warmed to, but I thought I should give it a re-taste after all these years. Smokey, bitter molasses. Syrupy. Long aromatic finish. I hadn't tasted it for over 40 years, but I haven't changed my mind.

Johnnie Walker Double Black, 40% abv
Rich biscuity smoke with some herbal notes on the nose. Round with a spicy mouthfeel. Solid, substantial and a great introduction to a light peated whisky for the uninitiated. Mild astringency on the finish.
