A balanced, Blended Whisky by Ian Macleod Distillery in Scotland aged for 21 years in oak casks. It has a grainy birth with notes of grains, wood, tropical & dried fruits, herbs & spices; while a rich & fruity life adds notes of barley, raisins, dried banana, citrus & brown sugar; that led to a balanced death of medium length with notes of oak, vanilla, oatmeal cookies with walnuts & peat smoke.
Delicious Scotch, rich, semisweet, brown sugar, vanilla, malt, caramel, honey, baking spices and dried red fruits. Dangerously easy to drink.
Better than I was expecting, spicier on the palate and with an oilier mouthfeel than I anticipated. Quite good.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
