Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · December 2020
This blended Scotch opens with a bright, fresh-cut apple aroma. On the palate, butterscotch richness gives way to mild hints of smoke and juicy citrus. This versatile pour could be enjoyed on its own or recommended for mixing.

Intended for mixing, so bring on the whisky sours and the Blood & Sands. Or drink this blended Scotch straight if you choose, to enjoy mouthwatering butterscotch and juicy orange, balanced by oaky tannins into the finish.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
