Shantel Crowley
3.5
(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Whisky Tasting, 05 March 2021). Smell: Vanilla, caramel, subtle spice Taste: Exotic fruit, pineapple, rich berry pie Aftertaste: Moderately extended finish, faint oak & spice, dark fruit A very smooth, subtle yet highly quaffable dram. It possesses a pleasant body, likely from the 46% ABV, and features a pleasingly sherry-influenced finish. The spirit is prominent, not overwhelmed by the cask. It’s a very well-poised, nearly traditional, whisky. Pleasant and simple to drink. Ranked first among the six whiskies tasted, securing 27% of the final vote for the favorite of the evening. 73% of attendees indicated they liked the whisky.
