Abrachan Blended Malt (no age statement) 41% bottled for Lidl £15.99 This is a later edition of this whisky in a clear dumpy bottle, no mention of triple barrels, ABV reduced from 42% to 41%, no tube, £1.51 cheaper than the original.
Appearance- Star bright, rich gold, good beads in the glass.
Nose - Big sherry nose on pulling the cork , then a distinct and enticing whiff of coastal air, sweet fruitcake, butterscotch, a little peat and smoke.
Taste - Good mouthfeel, rich, orange zest, slight salt, less sweet than the nose suggests, turning warm, slightly smokey and gingery, some spice, maybe sandalwood.
Finish- Medium length, slightly sweet, delicious. |
