This is going to be a fun adventure!
Cragganmore 12yo (40%, OB, +/- 2007)
Appearance/Color
Sunlight. Just a hint of orange.
Aroma
Intensity: Warming
Breezy floral meadow on opening, but without the grass. Honeyed pine, light smokiness. Singed on warming and breathing.
Palate
Watery and clean, but fills the mouth. Completely flat middle.
Finish
Quick rush from sweet to a light bitterness, but has a wonderful lingering orange popsicle-stick aftertaste.
Comment
Easy breezy character, but lacks in complexity. A nice little frolic though.
A typical first date: uplifting but at little nervous at first, conversation is a bit shallow and you run out of things to say in the middle, but overall you had a great time and you think fondly about it all the next day.
Score: 82
I'll give you some more info about tasting and whisky next time.

I bought a truckload of strawberry Pocky recently off of eBay (20 boxes!). I think I'm going to have to sell/give away some. I love Pocky, but there's only so much a girl can eat.
Despite being a Scot and being brought up in 'Whisky Country'. I can't stand the stuff. My granda worked in distilleries - Aberlour, Imperial and Dailuaine. I don't know what those Whisky's are like, though.
