Described in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2006 as ''A big, sweet, chunky, gawky, grainlashed but hugely enjoyable blend.''
This exceptional blended Scotch Whisky has been created for us by Richard Patterson, Scotland's only third generation Master Blender. The whisky's signature ''smoothness'' is rooted in its specially selected oak casks. Marrying these with gentle grain whiskies produces a whisky that is truly as ''soft as a Pig's Nose.'' Sold and enjoyed in the U.K., U.S.A., Canada, New Zealand, Denmark, and France for over 40 years.
Color: Golden sandy highlights. Clear and bright.
Nose: Firm and rich luscious creamy, round tones. The long marrying period has brought these many individual characters into one lasting union. Great harmony-soft and full with no ragged edges, smooth and mellow. Plenty of finesse and breeding.
Taste: A positive grip, almost a spicy richness as these great flavors attack the palate-leaving it beautifully rewarded as they drift over. Elegant and distinguished. The Speyside Malts-the heart of the whisky-have played a major part in bringing this quality blend together.
