Lauder's Blended Scotch Whisky 1.75L
COLOUR: Amber
NOSE: The maltiness of the nose reminded me a bit of the White Horse whisky. I went to take out my bottle to check, and there was a similar malt note in both these budget blends. The Lauder’s nose brings vanilla, light spice, caramel sweetness, and a malted biscuit note. The nose is light and does not have a lot of depth.
PALATE: The palate was a lot spicier than I was expecting. The nose has some sweetness, but the palate brings lemon, pepper, and cardamom on the first sip. After standing a bit, it brings more floral and vanilla notes with hints of oak. Water brings sweetness to the forefront. It is light drinking with a thin texture and not complex.
FINISH: On the short end with notes of lemon pepper, herbs and light sweetness.
