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.
Lost Distillery Towiemore
About this bottle
The Lost Distillery Company produces blends in homage to shuttered distilleries of yesteryear, doing so by analyzing 10 factors of production, and blending between five to 10 single malts. The Towiemore was founded in 1898 in Dufftown, Speyside, and was closed in 1931, a decade after blending companies stopped purchasing their whisky due to concerns of lime in its water supply. Towiemore was said to be known for a light, fruity taste.
