A cracking first fill Oloroso finished blended whisky from Sutcliffe & Son featuring North British, Strathclyde, Cameronbridge, Glenfarclas, Ben Nevis, Allt-á-Bhainne, Auchroisk, Glenallachie, Westport, Speyside, Macallan and more!
Nutty Oloroso and toffee'd grain goodness, toffee brittle, some zesty marmalade. Stuffing notes then develop - sage, parsley, savoury doughy notes - with caramel never too far away. Good stuff.
Light toffee notes, soon becoming honeyed with honeycomb, white pepper and a touch of strawberry.
Scones and echoes of that fruit from the palate.
Well put together and enjoyable with notes reminiscent of a fine Auchroisk.
Rich & complex. Incredibly elegant...
It just is not that good, not. Its ok if you get it for 50. Had also Redbreast 12 here, better option and Dalwhinnie 15, what a treat with so much honey. Well i know you cant compare.. Well no I don't, i just did. This exceptional is not very exceptional. Its not bad, and almost complex/almost little messy.
