Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
Opens with honey, butterscotch, and light smoke. A touch of maple and a good dose of wood follow.
Palate:
Toast and stone fruit—apricot jam comes to mind—pop out on the front of the palate. Smoke comes in before long, as well as a spicy ginger note. Mostly smoke on the finish, with lingering oak. Fairly light mouthfeel. Final Thoughts & Score/Buy A Bottle: Score: 85/100 The English Whisky Company Classic Single Malt is a straightforward, easy-drinking single malt—there’s not a lot of complexity, but it’s well-balanced, approachable, and pleasant, with some nice soft fruit and candy notes to round out the smoke.
