One rule : maximum 20 words. Initial first thoughts counts!
Do whisky make you think of a colour ?. It often does for me. This is somewhat irrational, but sometimes when I taste a whisky a colour pops up in my head. It might just be the predominant colours of the things I pick up in the whisky? It doesn't happen that often for me, but maybe for 1 or 2 in 10 whiskies.
Anyway, the few words combined with the rating should give you an idea of what I think of the whisky
