This long-time WHISKY SHOP ESSENTIAL is the perfect way to celebrate Robbie Burns Day on Saturday January 25.

Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, harmonious, well structured, slightly spicy, bright, mellow, ripe plummy-caramel flavours with a lingering, honeyed, faintly nutty, orange-citrus finish. Deliciously rounded, it has 43% alcohol with lot nmuber L29.10.23 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Currently available in 70 stores so check first. CSPC 464636

Tasting Note: A wonderfully fresh mix of grape and mint. Taste: light, youthful, playful, mouthwatering. Less plodding honey, more vibrant Demerara and juiced-up butterscotch. Finish: long, with soft almost ice-cream style vanillas with a grapey topping. A superb re-working of an always trustworthy malt. This dramatic change in shape works a treat and suits the malt perfectly. What a sensational success!! Score - 94. (Jim Murray, Whisky Bible, 2018)
