Tasting Notes

About:

Blended scotch, 700 ml bottle SRP $206.99.
Appearance:
Russet/Muscat.
Nose:
The nose offers lush and fragrant earthy notes of Autumn leaves, along with warm baking spices, brown sugar, orchard fruits, toasted walnuts, burnt orange citrus, and hints of buttery toffee.
Palate:
Alluring complexity and well rounded flavor notes such as hazelnuts, warm spices, blood orange zest, dark wood polish, gentle smoke, a touch of sea salt, and a spot of leather.
Finish:
Comments:
Like late Autumn in a glass, this robust expression offers a rich complexity of luscious character notes that accentuate each other quite nicely. It has a silky smooth oiliness that lingers in a deep long finish. Delicious and decadent, this blend would be ideal for enjoying in front of the fireplace during the colder months.
