That was blended with single malt whiskies from Cardhu, Glenkinchie, and Caol Ila and grain whiskies from Cameronbridge and Teaninch. It was crafted with cocktails in mind and is bottled at 45% ABV.

Tasting Notes

"The aroma has a gentle peat smoke note, an accent really that only enhances the whisky. There's a sweet honeyed note as well as a mix of toasted cereal and sweet malted barley. Dried herbs and citrus peel are also found. On the palate, the whisky is a bit oily with a medium fullness, a moderate sweetness and a tangy finish. There is some rye spiciness to be found, but it's not a main player. Fans of Johnnie Black will miss the peaty punch, but it's a decent everyday dram (especially for its price point) and a mixable whisky for all sorts of cocktails. Try a Whiskey Sour."
