Whiskey Review: SIA Scotch Whisky

Sweet, light, clean with a hint of smoke, with vanilla being the most dominant flavor. Finish: Gentle yet long, with little to no burn. Slight spice to warm up the closing of the drink nicely. Conclusion: I have to credit Luna-Ostaseski and company for making precisely what they envisioned. SIA succeeds at being a somewhat welcoming whisky that is unlikely to offend more delicate drinkers. Witnessing a singular vision enter the marketplace from concept to production and distribution is an admittedly interesting phenomenon in itself. What I cannot say is that the profile of the drink is as unique as promised. Rather than redefining the Scotch experience, SIA enters what is arguably an already overpopulated market without a clearly defined identity once outside of the bottle. Score: 74/100 [SHOP FOR A BOTTLE OF SIA]
