Is it a scam to put a 375 ml bottle in a box twice the size of most 750's? I'm not sure but I felt cheated when I got this home to realize it was a 375. Then again...for 50 bucks, maybe it's on me. Nose - butter scotch, chocolate, and vanilla. Taste - This one really evolves in your mouth. The buttery chocolate and vanilla rises up as the alcohol coats the mouth and there is a rush of oak and vanilla spice. There's a fruity character that starts to come out for me once I acclimate to the dessert notes. A bit of dark fruit...raisins or plums, some classic sherry notes but well back in there. Finish - long and lingering. Mostly butter scotch, oak, and some of that sherry element. I'm torn, I want to be mad about the small bottle, but I can't be upset at all with the insanely high quality whisky in here. I'm still only going with a 2.5 here. There's some off notes in the mix, even a few younger whisky notes in a 21 year, but man for 50 bucks, I know it's a small bottle but it's worth a gamble if you're a fan of blended scotch. I'm still debating the older expressions....I don't rebuy this but I might have to spend the 130 for the 30+ year old just to see. Please note again the 50 bucks was for a 375 which makes this more like a 100 dollar bottle. Not a horrible price for a 21 year old whisky and for the most part you get 21 year old notes on this one.
