Supersonic Mach 4 Limited Edition Blended Malt (North Star Spirits)

(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Whisky Tasting, 07 May 2021). Nose: Toffee, banana, golden syrup, dried fruit Palate: Sweet, dried fruit (sultanas & raisins), caramel, orange, butterscotch Finish: There’s a ‘hotness’ on the palate, which is softened by the sweet & fruity sherry finish. 1 of 716 bottles Distilled: 2013 Bottled: 2021 Lovely weighty intensity. This is a punchy dram, but it comes across softer and lighter than you’d expect from its 60%. This is a very clean, fruity and juicy dram. Tastes to me like a Glenrothes, but with a lot of fruit from the sherry. Nice. Strangely, I didn’t give this the highest score of the tasting but I did vote for this as my favourite. I think the Thompson Bros Caol Ila was a better whisky for one dram, but I could definitely drink more of this and would probably go back to this one more regularly. Someone else at the tasting delivered an almost perfect tasting note: “Caramel, orange, butterscotch, celery and flamethrower!” Came first out of the six drams, with 50% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 86% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky.
