Tastes

Similar to Macallan Edition no. 4. On the nose: pear, oak, almost lighter wine, an undertone of brown sugar, and nutty. On the palate: nutty, pears, spices, a glimpse of lemon or ginger. The finish: long, sweet, spicy. In closing: Macallan no 4 blows this away, they've taken the adventure from it and merely shortened it rather than taking this scotch to a new direction. Oddly enough for a couple decades in the business, Sarah Burgess could take notes from Nick Savage. Not to mention the $20+ price hike for less of a venture to the unknown, but rather to the already-discovered and lazily pressed forward.

Caramel and spices on the nose. As an 18 year, I expected more but it doesnt disappoint entirely with its sherry spice and sweet undertones on the palate.

On the nose: caramel, toffee, and cream are evident. This is followed by sweet honey, cream, and nutty taste on the palate. The finish is evident with some sweet and spice mixtures. Excellent for its price.

Adventurous. Vanilla, zest, honey, almost armangac on the nose. Warm spices on the front, honey, on palette. Lingering finish. Unique blend. Truly at the top scotches I have had in my ventures.
