Blended Scotch tends to be hit or miss with me. The Lost Distillery story is intriguing though and with a Madeira finish I figured I'd give this one a try. Nose is subtle peat and strong dried fruit. Definitely something a little different going on here. First sip brings some light peat, but also some strong almond and hints of vanilla. Also tasting a little fruitiness from the Madeira. Some gentle heat follows and the finish leaves a slighty medicinal close. This one won't be a go to for me. There is definitely some nice flavors shining through, but the close isn't quite to my liking. At this price though I definitely recommend it if you are into smoky blends.
