Blackadder Black Snake Vat No. 2 Sixth Venom, 59.9%

Price: 75 Issue: Winter 2023 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Single Malt Scotch

Butterscotch, the earthiness of dried leaves and wet wool, with whiffs of mint and orange on an oak-restrained nose; you can spend lots of time on it. The palate is filled with enticing flavors, led by orange peel and delectable spice. A very long finish, with orange once again coming to the fore. Water enhances the sweet ness, spice, and fruitiness that all come together very well to create a top-flight whisky.
