Shieldaig 12 Year Speyside Single Malt

12 yr single malt scotch for 35 bucks. How bad can it be. Well.... its not bad really just a lot of other offering SM or not are better. This has dank overripe fruits like golden raisins and apples that fell on the ground. There is some spice, a bit of malt(not enough) and barrel influence that supports to an almost bitter level. Flavors are just not very deep and the overall vibe is nothing special. I love scotch so I easily plowed this bottle but would never repurchase. Monkey/Naked/JWB/Chivas12/ Deanston Virgin/Speyburn plus others all superior.............74/100.....drinkable cheap single malt thats all

Sweet, floral,
