Smell

The very first aroma surprises with a fresh, lively note. Honey and a malty, almost cereal-like sweetness dominate, accompanied by a hint of red fruit and a delicate orange marmalade. Berries and red fruits lend the bouquet a fruity liveliness, while a light chocolate note and a hint of rye provide depth. Complex and inviting.

Taste

The whisky is creamy and spicy on the palate. Grapefruit and a delicate dark chocolate harmonise with a subtle date sweetness and a hint of black pepper. Red fruits and brown sugar provide a pleasant sweetness, while turmeric and a dry spiciness round off the flavour. A nice balance between sweet and strong.

Finish

The finish is tingling and lively, with a pleasant gingerbread spice and a slightly oaky note. Medium-long and sweet, it nevertheless remains balanced without being overpowering.

Thoughts

The 15-year-old blended Scotch whisky release from Living Souls impresses with its spicy depth and the successful balance between sweet and strong flavours. With a slight sherry influence, it offers an exciting flavour journey. The whisky has ‘good oomph’, but is still a pleasing and easy-to-drink companion. For fans of complex but accessible whiskies, this 15-year-old blend is definitely worth a recommendation.

By the way, hazelnut ice cream goes perfectly with this blend!
