Ultimate Beverage Challenge 93 points - Aromas of butter cookies and wisps of peat are carried on a sea breeze on the nose of this scotch. Nostalgic flavors splash across the palate with hints of baked peach, butterscotch apples, and freshly baked brioche alongside subtle citrus undertones. A truly classic take. - 2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Excellent, Highly Recommended) (Great Value).April/2019
John Barr Reserve Blend Scotch Whisky unites Highland malt and grain Whiskies for structure and richness with Speyside varieties, for a mellow finish. This Reserve Blend is characterized by rich aromas of chocolate, baked sweet apple and freshly baked bread, followed by notes of ripe apricot, gingerbread and hazelnuts on the palate, and a lingering maple finish. Best served neat, on the rocks, or in a classic highball recipe. 96 Points, Ultimate Spirits Challenge.
