The Twelve Speyside Single Malt Scotch

Date Tasted:
9/19/2024

Medium golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of lemon and honey in green tea, spiced pear, and clover honey with a velvety, lively, dry full body and an interesting, medium-length finish manifesting suggestions of honeyed grains, clover honey on baked pears, roasted nuts and a touch of leather and tobacco, and green tea and red apple. Warm honeyed grains with light orchard fruit and delicate barrel-spiced vanilla tones; all in a lovely balance in this absolutely classic Speysider.
