Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
This was the only blended malt Scotch Whisky in the entire Diageo portfolio when it was discontinued in most markets in 2012, but has been available in Taiwan and other selected markets before it reappeared in wider release in 2015.
The nose is rich and malty with notes of peach pie, coconut, vanilla, clover honey, muted spicy notes of allspice and ginger, a very subtle touch of smoke, fudge, and caramel candy. The taste starts off thick and creamy, then turns spicy with chili powder and black pepper notes balanced by honey, lemon, coconut, fudge, and toffee underneath. The finish lingers with subtle spices, fudge, and hints of honey, lemon, and black tea. (May, 2015)
