Hi all! It’s mystery scotch time!

So I know this is a Scotch. That’s for certain. I know that it came from /u/LecheConCarnie. I know it came from a bottle that has been opened for 9 years. So that means… I’m not going to guess this easily.

Price: $92.95 (CAD) at the LCBO

Region: Highland

Abv: 43%

Colour: 2/5Y 8/8

Alright, it’s a light yellow colour (see image above). Guessing that means no sherry influence, or very minimal sherry influence

Nose: Lemon, vanilla, oak, smoke, apple, butter, floral, grass

No sherry influence, so it’s ex-bourbon cask. Narrowed it down again to 90% of all Scotches.

Taste: Caramel, lemon, rosemary, ginger, cinnamon, tangerine
