Kirkland 12 Year Blended Scotch

This isn’t available in my state due to liquor laws but a friend of mine managed to get a bottle. The nose is sweet and fruity. The palate follows the nose but adds some spice, a touch of pepper, and a touch of caramel/honey. I really struggled to get any peat influence, although my friend claimed to get a little peat. The ABV is 40% so no need to add water although I did try adding a few drops just to see what it did — which wasn’t much. The single-malt diehards who prefer to spend an hour with a dram while dissecting and analyzing their whiskies, should avoid this as it is definitely on the bland side of the whisky spectrum. For anyone looking for a pleasant, easy-drinking and affordable daily scotch to be enjoyed while watching a movie or reading a book, it’s fine - especially at the price point. If you are fortunate enough to live in a state that allows Costco to sell liquor, grab a bottle and give it a try. I think a 1.75 liter is around $30 or so.
