Notes of oak and vanilla, with apricot fruitiness and a smooth finish that lasts several minutes. It's a great value for an 18-year-old Speyside Scotch. Could it be Macallan? Perhaps some barrels they sold to Alexander Murray, but it doesn't taste exactly like Macallan. If you find a bottle at your local Costco, it's definitely worth trying.
A delightful sherried whisky with minimal burn and abundant complex flavors. It's beautiful as is, requiring no water. You could easily finish the entire bottle without realizing it. It offers excellent value for its price.
Smells of butter, honey, pears, vanilla, with faint notes of peat and oak. Tastes spicy initially, with mild peat and pears, finishing with honey and oak. Incredible for the price and a really good, smooth scotch overall.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
