The best way to describe this whisky is “decent.” On the nose, stone fruit, such as peaches, is quite apparent. You also get quite a bit of butterscotch and caramel. On the palate. The warmth is long and slow as it builds. That same fruit comes through, but the butterscotch is more apparent here. It’s quite lush on the palate despite being 40%ABV which is a pet peeve of mine. 40% is the minimum ABV of whisky which means that the second you pour it into a glass, it dips below 40% due to evaporation. Not only that, but you have to finish a glass quite quickly before it starts tasting watered down from the evaporation. That’s why I believe the minimum should be 43% like other Scotches. This being said, however, I quite enjoy this whisky because it handles being at 40% better than other Scotches such as Glenlivet. The other thing is that the finish is quite long. The butterscotch really comes through on the finish and if you’ve ever had Butterbeer (Harry Potter), you’ll notice it quite distinctively on the finish.
