12.5.22 Served: Neat in Glencairn, then 2:1 highball (east imperial soda, which I don't recommend) Bottle Open: 3 years. Last intake: Grilled cheese. Aroma: Oak, vanilla, apple, pear Flavor: -Neat: Caramel, oak, light bitterness, light savoriness, bitterness and savoriness are reminiscent of untoasted whole grain bread. Bitterness overtakes other flavors on the finish. Slightly more pleasant than unpleasant. -Higball: Apple is prominent. Flavor is acceptable. Pleasant characteristics that are typical of highland scotch. The unfortunate bitterness knocks it down from what would be a 3.75-4 rating. Would drink. Would not seek out.
