Price: 35 Issue: Fall 2017 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

One hundred ten years after the Nimrod expedition, blender Richard Paterson's adventurous marriage of over 20 Highland malts brings fresh green fruits, manuka honey, vanilla, banana muffin, cantaloupe, fresh herbs, spice, and a wisp of smoke. Refreshing palate of green melon, light honey, vanilla, cinnamon, cooked apple, and gooseberry, becoming sour. More complexity on the finish: spice, smoke, cooked fruits, and chalky Sweethearts candies. Pair with mature prosciutto.
