Tasting Notes
Tasty, like a spicy butterscotch treat, melts on your tongue then nips your lips with a peppery orange potpourri. Just super.
Sweet floral nose reminiscent of my favorite tequila (Clase Azul Reposado), ultra smooth. Drinkable daily, could easily become my go-to spirit. Do not sense the higher alcohol content. Best for: an intro to Scotch
Excellent nice Nose - sweetness, leathery - just a hint Taste - smooth sweet oak with a nice spice Lingers nicely, an excellent end to the night
Caramel and flowers on the nose. Fruit up front - definitely nutmeg at the end. Definitely smoother than the bottling proof would indicate; a very nice, full bodied Speyside Scotch. Best for: celebrating a military victory.
Malty, aromatic nose. I like the higher alcohol percentage over the traditional The Glenlivet spirits. Providing a unique way to sample a common brand.
