Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Years Old

A sweet nose with notes of honey and smoke. Peaty smoky taste. Black pepper and tartness. Lingering spice and some tingling. A decent drink. Not too challenging or complex.

Quite nice for the money, especially in 20% off. Wouldnt guess 12yo Speyside, rather 8, 10 tops. It is not bad, but it's rather mediocre, without character with some nice hints in the taste. Smell: Acetone, bit of fermentation sourness and faint honey. Taste: Sourdough bread crust, pear, black pepper Finish: Little bit dry, slowly fainting wit some sweetish layer, black pepper in taste comes to cumin tingling, caraway seeds bitterness

Creamy and peppermint, a little too strong acetone smell for my tastes. Decent whisky from M&S, but not amazing.

Evokes: Having drinks with mates in the park, nibbling on a chocolate bar that has fallen in the dirt. Wash it all down with a really nice Pilsner.
