Sutcliffe & Son The Exceptional Grain

If you like sweet vanilla then this is your whisky. I grabbed it for $25 and that was an absolute steal. I wouldn’t pay the normal $100 price tag but it is very nice. If you blinded it and said it was Compass Box Hedonism I would not doubt it a bit.

Get the vanilla, berries are there but muted. Lots of vapors. Mildly sweet.

This tastes autumnal— nutty with notes of grain, apple and vanilla.

Vanilla and wine

Good pour. No peat. Little bland. Wouldn’t purchase bottle

Very interesting scotch, light and sweet, but more like a bourbon than a Speyside. Nose - honey, vanilla and caramel, with some musty notes that are typical in scotch Taste - light sweet honey, some dark fruit and a bit of orange zest Finish - silky and sweet, fades fairly quickly
