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 whisky was complex compared to several of the others, presenting variously in different sips a nose of sweaty gym socks, caramel mocha, umami and browned cheesecake. The palate brought out smoked meat and the finish was long and relaxing, trying to put me to bed after a very satisfying experience.
