Three Tartans

To be honest, I didn’t expect much from this blend at all, even if it is a malt blend. Especially since there’s no age statement. That said, what’s in the bottle is actually a fairly balanced entry-level dram. It works fine neat, and it’s even better in cocktails or with soda if you enjoy soft, lightly smoky, easy-drinking malt whiskies. At the same time, it’s clear that this is a young blend — the alcohol presence sticks out a bit, especially on the palate. The aroma is light, leaning toward bready and nutty notes, while the finish is short and fairly straightforward, though smooth.
