The lifecycle of a whiskey: I buy a few 5cl tasters that sound interesting to me. Out of them, I usually pick something I like and buy a bottle. Alongside that bottle, I buy a couple more tasters I haven’t tried yet. The cycle repeats.
Alongside Tamdhu 15 I got myself a taster of Glen Scotia 15, which honestly one of the most generic whiskey names I could have imagined.
For a American Oak (aka bourbon) whiskey, it is surprisingly sweet, to the point I would have believed it’s sherry, if not for the spiciness. It has amazing amount of warmth in the throat for 46% ABV as well. The subtitle says “Rich and smooth”. Not the smoothest for sure, but very rich indeed. At this point in my life, I would probably stick with sherried whiskies, but a great find nevertheless.
