While the fruit is the most prominent smell, what I get in the taste is mainly the traditional flavors of a scotch whiskey. There’s a toffee caramel, some vanilla, and a bit of earthy peat thrown in for good measure. It’s a formula that works well.

The brand became somewhat popular, and following John’s death in 1857 his sons took up the family business. With the passage of a new law in 1860 that allowed for a wider variety of blended whisky to be produced John’s sons solidified the company as a producer of blended whiskys by being among the first to innovate with the larger varieties now available. They also introduced the first square bottle in 1860 allowing more bottles to be stored on store shelves, as well as the distinctive tilted label that differentiated the brand and remains a feature to this day.

Conclusion:

In 1925 the company joined the Distillers Company, which was acquired by the Irish Guinness in 1986, and subsequently merged with Diageo in 1997. Personally I’m not a fan of the more fruity scotch whiskeys. I like the Glemorangie approach where it’s more neatly blended into the flavor profile, but here it’s like being slapped in the face with a sour apple and it reminds me of Halloween candy binges on sour apple Jolly Ranchers gone horribly wrong. Definitely not a scotch that I would voluntarily select, but drinkable with an ice cube.
