Naked Malt

Have to admit the 96th% ranking on Proof 66 caught my eye. Then RobertWayne gave a nice positive review and I read it had Macallan in it so I had to try it. Poured neat, nose is malt, canned peaches, buttery apple turnover with some barrel. Good mouthfeel brings on palate of malty apricot and apple with charred wood. Its a little hot due to lack of aging however flavors are solid albeit tad thin. Finishes with fading malt, drying wood, char and sugary pear. This is a nice tasty fruit profile scotch. Not super complex or deep but enjoyable.....83/100........Can recognize the Macallan influence here but its NOT a budget version. Vatted malt blends are superior to most standard blends as the grain twang is removed

This is amazing blended scotch. Sherry forward, and I can definitely taste Macallan which blends into a smooth aftertaste. This bottle can't be beat for the price to quality ratio.
