#ProductReview: #Suntory Gold Blended Malt

Suntory Gold Blended Malt. 42 per cent alcohol.

Nose: Not great. A little sherry and oak. Label says it is fully matured in Sherry casks. Doesn't taste like it. Also, plasticine, glue and cheap brandy.

Palate: A little better than the nose--bread dough, some lime and tangerine. Then ruined again by the plasticine and glue.

Finish: Bitter, with plasticine and, thankfully, short.

General comment: According to The Whisky Exchange, this was bottled in the 70s. It has clearly come a long way since then.
