Would I buy a bottle? No
Thoughts: This one was certainly interesting. Kind of opposite from the Fettercairn as this nose was super sour but the taste brought in a lot of sweetness. The sweetness was quite funky though. Not bad, but not super well composed. The tacky way it coats my mouth makes me not feel the biggest need to go back to drinking more.
