TASTING NOTE: Fans of Scottish Speyside whiskies should love the sweet, malty core here. Dried fruit, toasted cereal and vanilla mingle in the mouth, and there’s a slightly smoky, earthy, tangy finish thanks to partial drying over peat. When I last wrote about this five years ago, the price was $64.95. Score: 91 (Beppi Crosariol, The Globe and Mail, March 10, 2011) |
