Tastes

Toffee, baking spices, malt, berries, fruit cake, toasted nuts, figs, light and soft, medium length finish with light spices and fruit. Thanks to @ContemplativeFox for the sample.

Raisins, vanilla, caramel, honey, light baking spices and tobacco, quite mild and refined on the palate, long subdued finish. Thanks to @ContemplativeFox for the sample.

Toffee, caramel, honey, tropical fruits, cereal grains, smoke, peat, and baking spices notes. A little rough and fiery on the palate, a couple drops of water rounds the rough edges and make the palate buttery. The finish is long with peat, smoke, fiery spices and tropical fruit notes. Thanks to @ContemplativeFox for the sample.

B2/19 bottle kill. I like and appreciate this much more at the end of the bottle than I did at the beginning. It’s basically the regular 12 on steroids. It’s still too hot, a splash of water makes it just about right. Shortbread, biscuits, honey, berries, malt and spices. Yummy.

Review number 666. Hells bells. Wife broke a tooth last week, so we headed over to Algodones, MX to the dentist. While she was being worked on I decided to explore a little. But, dang it was hot as you know what, 107+ degrees. I ducked into a liquor store and spied this bottle with the Union Jack label. Bartered down to $8.50 for the bottle. I like this whiskey. It’s somewhat sweet, a bit creamy and malty, with honey and cereal grains, easy to drink with a mild finish. Not the best whiskey, not the worst either. Pretty decent for an inexpensive Scotch blend.
