I tasted this as part of a flight that included a variety from around the world, ordered from light to intense as follows: 1. Knappogue Castle 12 2. Glendronach 12 3. Yamazaki 12 4. Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon 5. Rittenhouse Rye 6. Highland Park 12 The instructions were to mix and match in tasting, but to leave the highly peated Scotch (#6) for last so it didn’t overwhelm the others. I found the entire flight to be extremely pleasing. This particular whiskey started with butterscotch candies on the nose and progressed to salted caramel as I alternated nosing other whiskies. A slight bitterness presented on the nose as well. Oak and brown sugar on the palate and very warm, cinnamon finish that was medium to long.
