Lismore 18 Year

$134.99

An 18 year old "mystery Speyside" single malt from The Lismore. This is not a distillery, but a company bottling single malt from an undisclosed distillery. The company itself just happens to be owned by that family that also owns Glenfarclas Distillery... Bottled at 43% after 18 years.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: very fruity, fresh and floral; as though someone has just sprayed a room with a fruity floral mist; jujubes, wine gums and jelly bellies; so fruity and decadent; creamy, velvety and smooth.

Palate: soft, honeyed and creamy; still velvety, clotted cream and honey butter; then the wine gums, jujubes and jelly bellies with Demerara sugar and soft leather; the crisp decadent spice emerges late with a broad stroke of juicy orange.

Finish: medium in length, creamy, coating and smooth; still velvety, the oak spices and fruit candy notes slowly dissipate.

Comment: very good for a $100 18 year old single malt; eminently quaffable; wish it was at 43%; only wish it was 46%!

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Sherried nose with hints of cinnamon.

Palate: A real mouth filling whisky, one little drop envelops your entire mouth. Fruit and toffee right at the forefront.

Finish: Butterscotch candy.

Origins: "From the Highlands of Scotland" But where? The Speyside is in the Highlands!
