This is a blended whisky from loch lomond, that used the solera system to get consistency between bottles. Bottled at 40%abv, amber color. On the nose, Acetone, Cake crest, Vanilla cookies, Lemon peel, Tobbaco leaf very dim. Apple - cinammon after some sips. On the palate it is a little straightforward, apple, pepper and oak, burning sensation. Aftertaste is cinnamon and some oak. Adding drops of water actually makes it a little better. Enhances the apple flavors and the vanilla aroma. Makes it easier to drink. Overall i rate this dram with a 59 over 100.
