Tastes

Been awhile since I’ve had this. Probably bumping up my rating since trying MANY other scotches since this first hit my palate. If Lowland whiskies were regularly close this, the Lowland region would be the most sought after & be raved about like the Speysides and Islays are. Slowly sipping this bottle till it comes back to Canada

Fiery. Haven’t had many cask strength rye whiskies, but my palate has become accustomed to this. On bottle #2 (started bottle #1 about a year ago), and probably enjoy it more now. Drop or 5 or water to mellow it out is key.

So much deliciousness

I’m a sucker for (certain) Lowland scotches, and this one’s added to the list. Really like the sherry and slight degree of sweet to this. Dessert worthy scotch. Sadly it’s harder to come across in my parts, so I’ll have to savour it.

Sorta here and there. Have not tried a Glenrothes before, nor am I a frequenter of Speyside whiskies. Is not bad though. For the price, I would 100% take a A’Bunadh over this however.

Cask #6. 57.9%. 1oz sample. Doesn’t hit hard like a near-60% rye, but all the taste is there. Can actually sip this neat without needing much of a break.

Nicely rounded whisky. Smidge of peat, sherry cask. Wish I had a whole bottle of my own.
