Whyte and Mackay 13 Year Old

Nose, Taste, Finish and Balance are graded out of 2.5 each:

Nose: Soft grain on the nose, with grape and sweet rubber swirling gracefully in sherry drenched barley. Alluring malty undertones complete this very indulgent nose. 2.0

Taste: Enveloping and silky, with a tingling of spice swimming freely and lightly in molten brown sugar and lychee treacle. It's an incredibly rich palate for a blend, once again with the grain doing a lot of the work, which coupled with the sherry finish comes together to offer a certain north american character to this fine scotch. 2.5

Finish: Vanilla and sherry notes come gushing forward on the finish, with grape and prunes offering an underlying bed of candied fruit. A rich desert of a finale, and once again if you were to close your eyes you'd swear you were in Kentucky. 2.0

Balance: At 13 years of age, one should expect some depth to this blend, and it's here in abundance. A voluptuous whisky, full of fruity allure and sherry coated sass. Whyte and Mackay's master blender has managed to conjure a gem of a scotch that puts many single malts with bigger reputations and much bigger price-tags to shame. 2.0
