The Famous Grouse Winter Reserve, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2019 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky
Heather honey, sultry smoke, sherry, and spice make this the ideal hibernation libation. Help see off the darkest months with these dominant orange notes and a supporting cast of crystalized ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. A warming taste of red berries, gingerbread, and Christmas spices gives the underside of the tongue a roasting before melting away, leaving a creamy mouthfeel imbued with strands of subtle smoke, barrel char, and spiced orange.
