King Robert II Treble Cask Matured, 40%

Price: 15 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.
