Kirkland Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Sherry Cask

Smell: Fruits from the orchard, apple, fig, orange zest, a pleasant malt sweetness with hints of spice and wood. Taste: Malt and fruit, dried fruits, raisins, a subtle sherry presence. Transitions to light smoke, some oak. It finishes with a nice warm peppery sensation. Overall, a fine Highland Scotch that would be a good addition to any Scotch whisky collection.

The nose initially suggests toasted twizzlers, then evolves into caramel malt with a hint of spice. A soft, light body reaches the palate and bursts into a viscous cloud of peated sweetness. A touch of spice remains. Excellent value for the price.

Aroma: notes of baking spice and sweet sherry. Taste: a slightly syrupy mouthfeel with pleasant baking spice notes. Aftertaste: smooth, a touch spicy, and rather brief.
