I had this recently and thought I’d do a review on it. Keep in mind that I am largely a bourbon connoisseur.
The nose is soft and has some pleasant apple juice, lemon, malt, vanilla, slight peat, and a light floral note.
The palate is soft and creamy with apple juice, sweet vanilla, malt and slight peat. 40% abv is too light for my preference, but it’s really not bad at all.
The finish is medium with lingering apple juice, vanilla and a slight bitterness.
A truly approachable Blended Scotch, considering the price. It’s non-offensive flavors and lower proof make it easy to see why this is one of the most popular scotches on the US. I could see this as a gateway scotch that peaks enough interest for someone to dig deeper into the world of Scotch.
