Before we get started let's be clear that this is not a whisky by most legal (and reasonable) definitions. However it was "presented" to me as whisky in Thailand, though the label on the bottle takes a more conservative approach calling this a "Thai spirit". Further reading reveals that ingredients include molasses, rice and herbs and it is bottled at a liqueur level of 35% ABV. The nose is fresh paint with some herbal, aromatic even vegetal notes notes in the background. A freshly painted Indian grocery store. The tast is also herbal, like medicinal cough sweets (Riccola?), reminded me of a liqueur without the sugar but there was a hint of caramel - perhaps that is what gave this it's whisky coloring? The finish? I would call it an after taste more than a finish, as if you had licked the walls of the grocery store.
