>Nose: Alcohol, and not the good kind. Primarily some kind of paint stripper, maybe with a dead rat left in it for good measure. On the second pass, after the tears had cleared from my eyes, I get desinfectant, weed killer and a hint of mustard gas. Amazing, how can something be this much of a punch to the nose with only 40% abv?
>Palate: What the....? As a lifelong atheist, Im not one to resort to religious ejaculations, but I'll make an exception in this case: Jesus F'ing Chirst what is this? My tongue is trying to flee down the back of my throat, the roof of my mouth is on fire, and my lips are considering a change in career. This tastes like somehting the kids came up with while playing with their chemistry kits. Words escape me, and after a while, the first to come back are "cadaverous", "vile", "rotting", "toxic".
>Finish: Oh, if only it were finished, but of course, it's long, monumentally long, just to drag out the torture. I remember getting a nasty sunburn as a kid, and if that had been on the inside of my mouth, I'm sure that's how it would taste and feel. That'll teach you to not use sunscreen - I'd honestly prefer a mouth full of sunscreen right now. Gasoline fumes rising from my esophagus, with a sidenote of that brown juice that drips out of the bottom of a compost heap. Please stop.
>Overall: Do people actually drink and enjoy this stuff? Or is it just some elaborate joke to take the piss out of newbs like me? I'll be heading back to the Highlands as far as whisky is concerned, and I'll think long and hard before considering another trip to Islay.
