Scots Gold 12-Year Blended Scotch Whiskey (1.75L) Spiced Wine 2024 San Francisco Chronicle WineA mixture of butter toffee, vanilla, dried fruit, Oreo cookies, candied peel, fennel seed, and white pepper on the nose. The palate shows vanilla toffee, blackened oak, macaroon bars, rich malt, and robust peppercorn spiciness. Yes, it's full bodied and satisfyingly malty, bathing the tongue in deliciously smooth toffee flavors with blackened staves and plenty of spice on the finish, but it's a bit too straightforward. Vanilla in more ways than one.
