Tasting Notes

About:

Blended scotch, 700 ml bottle SRP $321.99.
Appearance:
Tawny.
Nose:
The nose boasts lush, earthy notes like forest floor after it rains, along with rich aromas of fragrant red berries, cinnamon, citrus, buttery caramel, and salted pretzels.
Palate:
The palate is just as vivid in complexity as the nose with additional notes of warm spices, black tea, lemon citrus, vanilla, orchard fruits, and brown sugar, with hints of soft leather and chocolate malted balls.
Finish:
Comments:
This blended scotch has a rich depth of character with a slightly grainy texture that generously clings to the tongue in a long, deep finish. It is very well balanced with a savory sweetness that beautifully displays the broad flavor profile. Overall, this is a delicious blended scotch whisky that’s best saved for a special occasion or for sharing with only your closest fellow whisky enthusiasts.
