COLOR: honey
NOSE: soft in the alcohol department and
not overpowering at all, wow,
fruit, orange, vanilla, super complex
nose that opens like a kaleidoscope,
frosting appears with water
PALATE: a little light, spicy,
slightly drying, buttery
FINISH: floral, smooth, needs no water
to open the complexities,
pear, hint of spices, gorgeous finish

Of all the scotches that Scotch and Sniff have tasted so far, this one is by far the greatest candidate for a beginner to try. It’s surprisingly tasty and complex for a 12 year and contains enough flavors to keep your tongue interested for quite a while as you sip it. Fantastic.

The Glenlivet

Posted on by Scotch N Sniff

Glenlivet 18 ScotchNsGlenlivet 18

COLOR: Russet, light orange and stained pine

NOSE: Golden raisins, orange peel. Red delicious apple. Sweet smelling with hints of spices like cinnamon and cardamom.

PALATE: Smooth, so smooth. Rich with a heavy almost chewy feeling coating the tongue. Fresh walnuts, mint and brewed coffee grounds. Water brings out the oak and increases the citrus.

FINISH: Woody and slightly licorice. The finish is long and reduces from spicy to sweet again.

Glenfiddich Solara VatGlenfiddich Solera Vat 15

COLOR: Bright tawny
NOSE: Marzipan, nutmeg with
hints of buttery crust. Slight herbal note
PALATE: Initially astringent w/light
polish remover. Powerful alcohol
that reduces with water and
releases caramel, toffee, and bready flavours
FINISH: Round and bold
in the mouth, but
the enjoyment falls off quickly
leaving you with a need for another sip.

Why we’re here

Posted on by Scotch N Sniff

Slainte Mhath Good Health To You!!

What do you think of when you hear the word “SCOTCH”?

Maybe you think of old pretentious men sitting around in studded leather chairs surrounded by books, mahogany floors, and jazz playing in the background.

There are a lot of preconceived notions tied into the word and idea of scotch and we’re here, my brother and I, to tear down some of the misconceptions that surround scotch. We’re all about providing a “scotch-ucation” (scotch + education) to regular guys like us. Guys who are curious about scotch whisky. Guys who want to know how it’s made, why it’s made, why it has flavors in it, and maybe even how to save a few bucks by avoiding some of the over-hyped and overrated scotches. So as we take a journey into learning about scotch, we want you to join us. Have a scotch you love? Tell us about it. Have a review you’d like to share? Do. Know of a scotch you’d like us to try before you go spending your hard earned money on it? Give us a name and an age and we’ll see what we can do!

Here’s to #scotchucation, #CNPF reviews, and #SingleMaltScotch goodness!!

Slainte Mhath!!!
