Nose: gentle peat, caramel dipped green apple, grass Palate: mouthfeel is exceptionally silky with dark fruit, nougat, toffee, and peaches Finish: gentle peat, light oak, red hots, that fades into warm butter and vanilla, the more you drink the more the light oak finish lingers I don’t like describing whiskey as “smooth” as that can be interpreted many ways, but this is. Silky mouthfeel with very little burn. Value: C+ this is a good scotch but in no way is it worth over $200. I do see why a lot of reviews mention it being too low an ABV with slightly dulled aromas and flavors as the whiskey seems to be a little muted. I personally think this needs to be 45% to let it shine. If anything is special about this, it’s the silky smooth mouthfeel. Note to self: First time I’m trying a true top shelf whiskey. Prior to this the most expensive bottle I’ve tasted was woodford reserve batch proof ($130) and no scotches over $100.
