Bank Note 5 Year Peated Reserve Scotch Whisky

Day 3 of Flaviar Advent Calendar Ginger

Caramel, Burnt toffee, fruits, peppery peat. Really fantastic and nuanced bottle of blended scotch for the price. Much better than anything I've had from Johnnie Walker.

Definitely smokier than the original. It’s not a pest bomb but right after the peat there is a sickly sweet almost antifreeze flavor after. It’s a poor man’s black label. I don’t completely hate it though.

Sour nose mixed with peppery spice, tropical fruit, peat, cashew, and rich toffee. Peaty taste with mild sweetness, nuttiness and soft lingering heat. Medium finish

Smoky is the most prominent taste here. I also get some very light fruitiness and just a hint of sweetness, maybe vanilla. It's smooth. I really like it.

Sample from Flaviar w/ Jeet

Tried neat: Sweet, vanilla, and toffee on the nares. On the palate I get peaty, spice, hints of ginger
