Well, that’s one more nice blend from Loch Lomond distillery that I would definitely prefer to their basic single malts.
Aroma is very-very light, sweet, honeyed, a bit spiritous and full of apples. Surprisingly it contains almost none of the grain notes to the nose so in a case if you’re drunk enough you can easily confuse it with a single malt.
The taste is almost the same - very sweet, even sugary, creamy, light and gentle and full of brown sugar. Some apples again, also some butterscotch, creme-brûlée and dried apricots. It might seem quite plain, rushing through your tongue, but it’s pleasant.
The aftertaste unveils its grain nature as it’s rather harsh and bitterish.
High Commissioner differs a lot from the LL range but it’s to the better cause it has removed all the unpleasant damp and bitter notes that are typical to the core range.
