Trader Joe's Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Rum Cask Finish

Fairly smoothe, decent for price

Nose: ripe orchard fruits, honey, a little butteriness, sugary rum finish, hint of a cinnamon-like spice, slightest vegetal note, fairly simple and straight forward, very little depth. Taste: fruity, rum, herbal vegetal note that transitions into a peppery spice, some slight alcohol burn (I suspect it’s a young scotch in age), finish is medium in length. For a budget friendly rum finished scotch, it’s not bad. Better than some other budget entries.

Sweet syrupy aroma. Definitely the rum. Has a well balanced flavor with sugar cane sweetness. Medium body medium tail, really not bad. A good budget choice if you like rum casked scotches.

This is an awesome daily, especially for the price.

Eh? Lot of alcohol burn on the nose and on the palette. Slightly sweet from the rum, and there’s a touch of smoke on the finish that doesn’t last too long

Sweet molasses on the nose that has a mild burn. The molasses is forward and backed by a very light burn and almost nutty flavor that lingers on the palate. Brief mild Smokey finish that disappears almost as soon as it appears .
