Cadenhead's, (distilled at Blair Athol), 1989

Pale gold color. Aromas reminiscent of a holiday spice cake-ginger, cinnamon, honey, and a touch of citrus fruit. Medium bodied, but it coats the palate-there's some viscosity here. The flavors are rather soothing and very much like its aroma, with a malty sweetness throughout and a lingering finish.

Style: Highland single malt Scotch whisky. Price: high $80s. Limited availability.
