Spirit of Unity Blended Malt Whisky

I, like many other members on this site, find it hard to collect whisky. I buy them so that they can be drunk, sampled and enjoyed, and I knew full well that this Spirit Of Unity bottle would get opened eventually!

That moment came quite recently, along with 2 other special bottles of mine (reviews to come later). So I thought it best to commemorate the occasion by taking notes and reviewing it! I wont explain the bottle, many of us know the reasons behind it by now.

It's extremely pale, looking like a young whisky really, very clean I would say. When smelling this unique bottling I picked up a sweet, sugary aroma, with a citrus background and the faintest hint of peat.

It's got a pleasant taste, I thought its a very happy whisky to be honest. It was soft, with bits of melon and Neopolitan ice cream coming through. The melon aspect lingered a bit, but overall I thought the finish was fairly short, not a bad experience though, leaves you wanting more.

In summary, it's a very good quality blend, the regions marry up extremely well. Better trained noses/palletes could probably distinguish each one, but to me it works nicely!
