Member Ratings and Notes

Dave

Cane sugar with little else on the nose - almost nonexistent. Palate kind of similar. Sweetness runs through the warmth but so little else. A hint of oak spice and maybe some light vanilla…..not bad…but needs much more of whatever it is that it has.

Andy

n: Nice. Sweet and springy. It's like what we all imagine running through a field of spring flowers (but in reality it usually blows).

p: Flowers, ~~me dancing naked in a field~~ supermodels dancing naked in a field. Utterly pleasant. Not too exceptional. Finish is warming.

It's the "I don't have or need a date tonight" scotch.

B/B-

Chris

N: Grassy Speysider. Citrus.
P: Quite sweet in contrast to the nose, which works quite well.
F: Some interesting fruit here, apricots and oranges.
I've always found Craggenmore to be a little weak for my taste, and this one is too, although certainly more tasty that the 12 year.
