King Robert II Treble Cask Matured, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2023 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky
The three casks in question are barrels, hogsheads, and butts, and this is spicy, on the peppery side, with herbal notes, toffee apple, and chocolate-dipped marshmallows. The taste profile offers chocolate, dark toffee, and spice, with thick butterscotch and vanilla essence, and then a slow crescendo of spice to a plateau of hazelnut chocolate spread. A restorative kind of blend with invigorating spices in the finish to rouse the senses.
