Review #146 - Kirkland 18 Speyside Sherry finish






Speyside - 18 - Chill Filtered - Color added- Sample ($57 at the local) - 46%


Color - Tawny
Nose - Dried fruit - figs, nuts,  bigger sherry fruit than I would think
Palate - Apricots, figs, 
Finish - Medium - Nutmeg, sherry fruit, vanilla
Overall - 7 - This reminds me of Aberlour 16 at a $15 discount.  It is fine, potable and decent.   Not bad for the money.  Decent mouthfeel and worth the cost of admission.
