FiftySix Degrees: Whisky made for Malaysian drinkers

A made in Scotland, bottled in Malaysia whisky.

The bright, clear colour of the whisky was the first thing that stood out, with a whiff of citrus, fudge, and even a little bit of banana on the nose. Take a sip of the whisky, and there is light, fruity notes, with a slight tinge of oak, a fresh creaminess, and some maltiness. Then, as you swallow, there is a short but silky finish, more of an extension of the mouth-coating fruitiness than anything. Without even adding any water, this is a very easy drinking whisky. Too easy, some might say.
