Whiskey night tasting, tasted blind, very small sample. I correctly guessed this as a blended scotch, but couldn't identify it. Smooth like a blend, a little touch of peat. Hit me kind of like a Johnnie Walker product. Fairly unremarkable, not something I'd go looking for.
Clear gold, with standard alcohol legs. Aroma- cereal grain, bread dough, and a wisp of smoke. Taste- similar, with vanilla, oak, and honey. Medium body. Quick-to-moderate finish. RJT
I channeled my inner Heisenberg and grabbed this off the shelf. Its a 15 yr blend for low $30's so expectations were not high. Poured neat nose is light fruit, gummy malt, heather and some green tea with a wispy smoky barrel. Palate comes in with surprising refinement at price point. Rich malt, buttery oak with a smidge of char alongside hints of gentle speyside fruit. Finish is standard malt and oak fade with lingering char and dare I say a drop of earthy peat. Its slightly drying but stops short of bitter. The magic here is the lack of grain alcohol nastiness. You can tell its there but its held in check with the ageing/quality of the juice I guess. Its not deep complex flavors that make you want to write a memoir but its tasty with a real cool bottle and I hate to say it but yeah its smooooth. Thats tough to get to for a grain blend. Kinda reminds me of Aberfeldy 12 a little. I would easily repurchase this friendly age statement blend.....86/100.....guess Walter was on to something
