Stronachie 18 Year Old 70cl Whisky
Stronachie 18 Year Old
The 18 year old version of the single malt Stronachie. This is actually from Benrinnes, and they bottle it in small batches that offer a sherried style of whisky.

It is perfect, strides ahead of Macallan
Really enjoying. Freshly cut grass on the nose. Custardy and herbal palate with honey throughout. Good value.
My release seems to be either all bourbon barrels or a very small portion/3rd,4th fill sherry. It is complex, with honey, lemon, oak, malt, and spice. Interesting, cooling, minty finish. Really delicious. Would be 4-4.5 stars, but the bargain price ($45 at the time) makes it a superb deal. Can't believe the value... any "big name" would be easily double.
Someone further down gave this a 1 star and asked why it is called a single malt. Well that's because it is a single malt independent bottling from the Benrinnes distillery. I hope this 5 star rating redresses the balance a bit.
I've tried a lot of scotches and I have liked quiet a few. This one stands out. Bouquet lingers. I like that.
