BlendedComprised of both single malt(s) and single grain(s) often from many different distilleries; if Scotch or Irish must be aged for at least three years in oak barrels; Irish may include single pot still whiskey in the blend.
Tasting Notes
"Aside from grain notes, you'll get some citrus segments and barrel spices with a hint of peat smoke which lurks in the background the entire time you drink. As you continue to taste and smell the whisky, confectionery aromas like marshmallow and milk chocolate come through as well as a small amount of floral notes. As you'd expect in a blended whisky, the finish isn't very rich but shows a lot of a brightness on the finish. Fans of Highland Park whiskies should enjoy as a daily dram."
