Certainly unlike any whisk(e)y I’ve ever had, and I’m not sure that it succeeds well standing on its own. However, when mixed with the Aperitif Rosso, the blend worked quite well as a cocktail.
There’s a sort of black tea meets black pepper note — the pepper giving the throat a bit of a scorch in lieu of the booze — then a weedy finish. I couldn’t get very far into a glass of this one, and if drinking’s off the table, I’d rather have a glass of tea.
