Glen– 80

A straightforward and respectable Speyside that had a nice warming character. Perfect for a flask on a cold day. This dram perked up nicely with a touch of water. My only complaint was a lingering bitter aftertaste.

Nose: Light, malty, honey, butter, fresh
Body: Medium
Finish: Explodes in the mouth, long and spicy, butterscotch, warming

A nice everyday type of dram.

Brett– 82

A beautiful fresh, malty nose that softly explodes with honey butter. There is also the essence of those hard peppermint candies that you get in diners. It’s a sharp segue to the palate, which is medium weight, very spicy, and perhaps a bit young. This whisky’s finish, though, recalls its start (as all good whiskies should), with echoes of butterscotch and candy caramels. The medium-long finish also strangely seemed a little “fizzy”, although this couldn’t be understood by any of us. Nonetheless, a very nice dram.
