Grangestone Highland Single Malt Bourbon Cask Finish

This is better than the 21 year of the same distillery. It has a more rich flavor as it goes over the tongue and a lingering taste

Plain, meh

Nose is sweet fruity floral with the palate being vanilla oak driven. Very mellow taste with some floral and a sweet finish.

Tasted 4 bottles blind. The bourbon cask, sherry cask, rum cask, and 12yr single malts from grangestone. Nosing and tasting notes are from the blind tasting. On the nose you get cherries and apricot covered in honey with a nice bergamot and lilac thread running through as well. The taste is immediately sweet and the apricot is up front. Following that is a honeyed earl grey tea. The finish is short with the honey getting a bit darker and a light oak note moving in. Overall this was my favorite of the blind tasting. It was my top pick in both rounds of tasting and I considered it the winner by a substantial margin.

Clear pale amber body thin legging. Sweet toffee earthy bourbon aroma. Sweet toffee woody earthy flavor. Medium light body. 7/3/7/4/15 3.6
