Grangestone Highland Single Malt Sherry Cask Finish

Candy like

Clear amber body thin legging. Smoky caramel aroma. Toffee caramel fruity flavor. Medium body with a dry finish. 8/3/8/3/14 3.6

Nice sherry finish, a little smoky and a little spicy

Good for the money.

Nose - artificial strawberry, pop rocks, lemon, honey, wet grass, caramel, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - cloying strawberry, honey, orange, lemon, wet grass, sour apple, vanilla, subtle caramel, mild to moderate alcohol bite, finishing very fast with sour, chemically strawberry and young alcohol flavors. Obviously wanting not to be shown up by its bourbon cask-finished counterpart, this is somehow even worse. The strawberry pop rock flavor is really hard to ignore, making any other notes very difficult to perceive. The one thing it has going for it is how easy it is to drink. Like ‘fool the other parents at the tee-ball game into believing it’s juice in my juice box’ easy. This is the worst scotch I’ve reviewed thus far and rivals some of the worst liquors I’ve ever reviewed, bested only by Canadian Mist, which still haunts my waking moments. Down the drain you go. Never again.

The sherry overpowers on the nose. This is light and malty with a pleasant finish.

Smooth but without much flavor other than generic oak and muted caramel, thin finish.
