Region:

Type: Blended Scotch

Bottler: Cobalt Brands

ABV: 43%

Score: 85 Points

The nose on this blended Scotch is light and malty with dried flowers, grass, straw, and hints of honey. The taste starts off light, then turns peppery with black pepper, clove, cilantro, and notes of honey and vanilla that come out as the spices fade. The finish clings to the tongue with good spices and a hint of honey. (January, 2014)
