Price: 55 Issue: Winter 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

There’s a lot going on here between the aromas of tobacco leaf, cinnamon, dried fruit, fresh salty smoke, abundant spices, milk chocolate, and honey-and-lemon tea. Citrus sweetness drives the flavors, assisted by some herbal notes, smoke, pepperiness, chocolate-covered toffee, clove, and Brazil nut. The sweetness falls away into a spicy abyss, leaving residual toffee flavors on the finish.
