Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Rattray’s Selection #01

Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Blended Malt

Bottler: A. Dewar Rattray

ABV: 55.8%

Score: 92 Points

This 19-year-old blended malt brings together whiskies from Auchentoshan, Balblair, BenRiach, and Bowmore vatted together for 9 months in sherry hogsheads used previously at Benrinnes. The complexity is evident in the nose, rich and sweet with brown sugar, peach pie, ginger, and a hint of Maricopa almonds. The taste is rich and thick with subtle cinnamon balanced well with peaches, pears, and a touch of raisins. The finish is lingering and thick with ginger, almond, and a touch of smoke. Excellent!
