Lismore
An 18 year old single malt Scotch whisky from an undisclosed distillery, bottled for the Lismore range. A mystery in a bottle...
Lightly floral at first, followed by thick notes of chocolate and toffee.
Honey-roasted peanuts, old oak and chewy caramels.
Fruity sweetness develops on the finish.
If this whisky had a 12 on the label instead of an 18, it wouldn't really surprise me. Certainly it's smooth enough but there was a late bitterness on the finish which I didn't enjoy. I've had quite a few 18 yo drams over the years but this doesn't really match up. This Lismore was about half the price, right enough.
Very pleasant for nose, nice hidden alcohol, smooth and delicious, highly recommended.
Light, honey and heather nose opens up to toffee peanuts, sugar cane, chocolate orange.
Spot on with tasting notes. Fantastic dram
Found this on a local shelf in Northern California, and bought it on spec, as my tastes are very Speyside and the price was really good. Takes a bit of water; not TOO much to open it up. Tasting notes are spot on: toffee, chocolate, a bit of caramel. Most likely a sherry cask. As to the mystery of what it is - could be a Craigellechie, as it's quite similar to, but tastes older, smoother and more full bodied than, that distillery's 13 year old which I like a lot (and their 17yo). For the right price, this could be a great everyday dram.
