McDowell's No. 1 Reserve Whisky, Oak Cask, 42.8%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

83 / 100

The finish is described as lingering, with sweet and spicy notes; other descriptions lean warmer and drier, with white pepper and cinnamon. That gives this blend a clear contrast rather than a purely sweet close. Caramel, oak, and vanilla on the nose sound approachable, while the finish seems to carry more edge.
