Reviewed September 27, 2020 (edited October 12, 2020)The nose is surprisingly malty with some light peat. It's a sweet peat and malt on the palate also but with a sweet grain type of sweetness. Finish is fairly nice but much of the same flavors. On further visits I get a sickly sweet finish that I don't care for. For the price it is punching above it's weight and is preferred over JW.20.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed September 14, 2020 (edited September 16, 2020)N: Honey, dark red fruit, and smoke. Little tea, spice, and bread too. Nothing pops too strong, good or bad. I get a pretty strong ethanol smell when nosing that doesn't seem noticeable on a casual sip. I guess don't try too hard with this one. P: Bounces between rich honey and a hot, watery and spicy tea flavor. There's some caramel and vanilla, of course. It softens into a vanilla sugar cookie flavor. Finish has a tongue coating light spiciness that's sort of an unusually hot cinnamon (which is still not that hot really). Doesn't last long. I get no smoke on the palate. Kinda odd for the smoky line extension. Meh, it's okay. I don't have strong feelings about it, good or bad. That's probably the goal here.27.0 USD per BottleMission Wine & Spirits -

Reviewed August 15, 2020I didn't have terribly high expectations given the price and producer, but I was hoping for at least some good peat smoke. Very slight peat. Not nearly enough to justify the branding.22.0 USD per BottleLakewood Ranch -

Reviewed August 2, 2020- Blended scotch whisky - 40%ABV - Possui corante caramelo e filtragem gelada - Produzido com base no single malte defumado da Glenturret - Produzido pela Edrington Group Olfato: defumado, dulçor, figos (algo que lembra envelhecimento em ex-jerez), malte, caramelo, mel, frescor cítrico (uma lima, talvez), maçãs verdes, amadeirado, apimentado e um pouco álcool. Palato: dulçor (menor do que indica o aroma), bom amargor, apimentado, amadeirado, defumado, frutos vermelhos, cítrico e um pouco do calor do álcool. Simples porém saboroso e agradável. Finalização: média e sua boa se enche de saliva, trazendo consigo os sabores deste whisky. O calor do álcool desaparece rapidamente, mas o defumado (tipo presunto) e amadeirado permanece por alguns minutos em sua boca. Agradável finalização. Impressões gerais: deixe-o respirar por alguns minutos (recomendo tampar a taça) e terá um whisky bem diferente do que provando-o sem repouso. Muito agradável, suave, com um ótimo defumado (suave) e com álcool que não desagrada, mesmo sendo perceptível. Frutado e defumado bem balanceados e com um preço muito acessível. Um bom blended whisky que certamente entrega o que promete. Recomendo puro ou com algumas gotas de água, mas não recomendo com gelo pois isso ocultaria todas as nuances deste whisky.20.0 USD per Bottle
