As the ones of you following this blog on a regular basis may have noticed, I have had quite a number of standard bottlings from Diageos Classic Malts range lately. I'm sort of reintroducing my palate to the basic. I must admit, having a period of very old whiskies, very peaty whiskies, and heavily oak-influenced ones over a period of time does something with your appreciation of other, more mundane whiskies, in general. The color is golden. It smells citrus, lemon, lime, mango, raspberry, hay, appletini, tonic water. What can I say, its sure classic lowland in style. The taste is sweet, lemon tart, grassy, apple cider, lemongrass, rhubarb, well-balanced and just a bit of vanilla sweetness in the end. The finish is short on laurels, garlic and starch.
Great stuff, perfect everyday dram: 7.5
Next tasting: Peaty Edradour
