Blackadder Strathmill 1989

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Blackadder

ABV: 53.3%

Score: 85 Points

This 2013 bottling from Blackadder has an aromatic nose with notes of aniseed, dried flowers, straw, lemon zest, and butterscotch. The taste is peppery with chili powder balanced by lemon zest, honey, dark chocolate, linseed oil, and hints of dried flowers in the background. The finish is dry, short, and slightly tart with lemon zest and linseed oil notes. (August, 2014)
