Review #63: Blind - Auchentoshan Bartender‘s Malt

Orange Mystery

This is the forth mystery sample for me The first I High West Campfire on Jack Daniels Barrel Proof so clearly I am skilled at guessing. The second I guessed an ardbeg 10 on a Frog 10 so pretty close. My third, I guessed a Glenmorangie on an Irish whisky. What will number 4 bring?

Color - Amber

Nose - Stewed lemons, honey, vanilla

Taste - Lemon, vanilla, syrup, light body overall

Finish - Medium - Honey, lemon drops, with a bit of vanilla and spice

Overall - - This is a nice pleasant light fruity scotch. This is what I would like to come home to after a big garlicly dinner and enjoy.

Anconc - Highland - 12- CF - 43%-
