Made famous by the Seinfeld TV show in the 1990's and then believed to be lost in a cupboard under the sink for over 15 years, Hennigan's was rediscovered in October 2011 by www.scotchcinema.com. So I thought I would review this very unusual and hard to find scotch. I often write tasting notes with my wife, but this time I had some help from my friends Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer. The nose is very soft and muted, in fact according to Jerry "I can't smell anything". However the taste is appealing, as Kramer described it best; "that is damn good stuff" and the finish, well again Kramer put it much better than I can, "mmm boy, that Hennigan's goes down smooth". Overall impression is best summed up by Elaine as "I'll tell you, it's not bad". However Hennigan's is definitely not for everyone, unfortunately George "threw up from the Hennigan's" so I am afraid, due the lack of nose and the unfortunate throwing up aspect, I can only give it 1 star.
