Scottish Leader 12-year-old 70cl

A very smooth blended Scotch with a distinct honey flavour. In 1997 it won the International Spirits Challenge.

Review:

"Honestly, this is a whisky you should definitely consider, if you want to purchase a quick blend. The start is almost bittersweet and very smooth, a slight note of bitter almonds, seasalt and oak, very sweet, like caramel in the middle and a dry, mellow finish with notes of vanilla and orange, which remind me of crême brûlee. The finish is quite quick, like a runner, but it lingers.

Very nice.

To me, this might not be the best of the best, but still pretty solid and I recommend owning a bottle for friends or for a film night. I downed mine last Halloween, and I had fun while at it while watching I Know What You Did Last Summer with my best friend.

Verdict? 89/100. May not be the big hit of the year, but still works fine over anything. My recommendation would be to make a sweet Rob Roy, or drink it with a lemon twist, like Monica Geller would do. On the rocks or neat, your call, but I recommend using steel cubes or cooling rocks, if you have any.

Have one while at it. During times like these it hardly hurts, anyway."
