Sip or mix this honey-hued blended Scotch. The aroma suggests baked apple and pear. The palate echoes that fruitiness, but surrounds it with a drying swirl of clove and cinnamon heat, plus vanilla and caramel. Adding water brings a hint of butterscotch to the fore, and the faintest echo of smoke on the exhale. Kara Newman 

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
