Friday. I always look forward to Friday and my weekend pour. This pour is another from our sixth round for our Scottish Whisky tour group. This one is uncommon to the States and to me. Fruit and sweetness begin to open on the nose. Diced pears and apples, blueberries with caramel and vanilla. Some cake and sugar icing come through over time. A small amount of cinnamon and nutmeg spice deep down in the bowels of the nose but takes patience to discover it. The lightweight body delivers a sweet with an spicy oakiness. Honey, caramel, vanilla provide the sweetness. The spicy quality provides black pepper and cinnamon (red hot) heat, but not overbearing, with some char. The body is The finish is oaky, long and drying with a touch of sootiness. The whisky starts wonderfully sweet and slightly complex but the palate is not as rewarding as the nose and somewhat average on the finish. However, this is a decent whisky that is sippable, enjoyable. It won’t blow your doors off, but, as well, you won’t want to turn it down. [$46][85/100][Tasted: 6/15/18]
