Duncan Taylor 16 year old “NC2” (distilled at Aberlour), 46%

Price: 80 Issue: Winter 2010 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Single Malt Scotch

This whisky packs a lot of clean, complex, and well-balanced flavors. It features a creamy, layered, malty-sweet foundation (vanilla, caramel, toffee) chock full of bright fruit (golden raisin, honeyed orchard fruit, currant), rounded out by firm, dried spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, mint) that dances on the palate. Long, warming, spicy finish. Nicely done!
