Enjoyed this at a whisky bar, though it was a pricey drink. It was much smoother than the 24-year Muckety Muck Single Grain and seemed to have a lower alcohol content despite being 47.4% compared to 45%. Nice caramel, brown sugar/maple flavors and a mouth-coating texture.
A sibling gave this to me for my birthday. I'd suggest this one. It's excellent. The 94.8 proof highlights the flavor.
Excellent. Another hit from Orphan Barrels! Enjoyed it neat, I know... incredibly smooth with plenty of spice, but truly delightful.
Honey and vanilla. Sweet caramel.
It's very sweet for a scotch.
Notes of fruit and nuts.
