Wasmund's Single Malt Whisky Whiskey

I am not sure what to make of this whisky after drinking many Scottish Single Malts, well my expectation were not met. It appearance is fine but the nose and taste smelled a great deal like gasoline. And I am trying hard to embrace my local brewers and distillers too.

Had my wife give me a blind taste test with an 8 year Lagavulan (ms), 10year laphroaig, Triple smoke Cosair and Wesmunds. I thought the Wemunds was No1 but the other are very enjoyable as well. I think it matters what mode you in. Smoke or Not. I am looking to try Balcones next.

Hot garbage.

Sorry, but this is nasty stuff. Strong, strong smell and taste of leather. Two of us tried it, both stopped after one sip because of the seriously disturbing flavor. I paid a lot for the bottle but am pouring it down the drown right now.

I like the grain taste. It's similar to Montana pure malt which you can no longer find. At first i didnt like it. Tried it a second time and now its a favorite.

Fantastic smoke flavor

Got this as a gift. It is one of the most unique whiskies I've experienced. Sweet, waxy nose with lots of tea notes. Think green tea mixed with barn yardy puerh too. Some smoke, fire place, buttery barley sugar, wet grass, hay in a barn -- taste is sweet up front, some caramel, waxy, white pepper, smokey bbq sauce that's lightly sweet and the finish is cherry cola and more barley sugar with some cereal notes. I like it -- I'm not always in the mood for it but when I am it's very enjoyable.

Try it! I really liked it neat, no ice, no water.

So, to me, the nose was sweet, like fruit and oak, and a touch of leather. Legs on my glencairn ran slow, so I assumed it was aged awhile. The taste was not as expected. Initial impression was a lot of smoked wood, and as it settled, it reminded me of pipe tobacco. Very harsh on the palate. After adding a drop of water, it mellowed, but still tasted like pipe tobacco, which, isn’t horrible, but I wouldn’t spend 75 on this bottle, when I could have 18 year old glenfiddich.

As I am from Virginia, I wanted it to be amazing. However, the only thing that amazed me is that anyone has finished a glass. The nose is that of spent wood on a camp fire lit with old motor oil. The flavor is a mixture of rubbing alcohol soaking in freshly cut oak. I keep looking for caramel, coffee, or vanilla on the nose, but all i find is that smell when the fire needs to be put out, my water bottle is empty and my bladder is full.
