Scotch Whisky reviews

Nose: The initial sniff has a salty tinge to it, almost like brine. This brine then evolves into dried fruit like raisins and possibly dried prunes. While all this is going on there is a smooth sweet…

I wanted to try this after being slightly disappointed with the 18 yo but finding the 21yo and 16yo (Travel Retail only) excellent whiskies. The 12 yo is a classy malt for the sub £30 bracket, very…
