Shieldaig 12 Year Speyside Single Malt

Nose: Honey. Pear. Taste: Greeted with lightness of honey and pear sweetness. Nice bit of oak with a hint of smoke and spice. Finishes with more smoke and fruity sweetness. Pretty balanced with a solid mouthfeel. Not too heavy but enough to let you know it’s there. The flavor is a bit dainty, and I think I’d prefer a tiny bit more smoke but, overall, it’s great. Light, fruity flavor paired with a solid body makes this scotch a decent one in my book. Curious for some more complexity as I begin to discover more scotches.

Strong nose peat, smoky

This would be a near-stunner if the ABV was higher

Fine

New to scotch but really enjoyed this. Was easy to enjoy the taste
