Paul John Nirvana Whisky

very grassy and smells like dampness a lot. not a good body either.

Wet grassy hay on the nose similar to lowland malts, soft on the palate if a bit thin with toffee notes. Easy drinking but not special

I got a 5cl bottle from MoM whisky santa a week or two ago, and while i appreciate the gift, all i can say is it's just 'ok', with nothing there to make it stand out or make me want to rush out to buy a full size bottle, and for £30 there's so many better choices out there.

Of the hundreds of bottles I've had in the house over the years, there are very few I'd rate as "pour-down-the-sink". This was one. I'm a huge Paul John fan, and have really enjoyed several of their expressions and was excited to try this, but it was undrinkable. It had no age to it at all, and I could easily have been drinking watered down moonshine, such was the over-powering taste of corn. Save your money.

This packs a punch of pineapple and vanilla and is well worth trying if you can forgo the need for peat or smoke
