Clydebuilt Riveter, 50%

Price: 70 Issue: Winter 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Grain Scotch

Waxed lemon, pine floor polish, church candles, pencil shavings, sliced almond, light vanilla, and bookbinding glue. Lemon bonbon and vanilla, with a thickly textured palate, nippy spices, dried apricot, and candied orange, then as the spices fade away it becomes sweeter, with nougat, peach, and butterscotch sauce. Definitely worth trying this sourced grain whisky from the Ardgowan Distillery team, as it has many appealing qualities.
