Soft and fruity — grassy greenness, nuttiness, cut herbs, apples, hay
Silken delivery — winter spice, vanilla custard, nutty oiliness
Soft, herbal, peppered — pleasant but understated
Strathmill 12 F&F — Keith. J&B workhorse. One of the rarest F&F bottlings. 43%.
Grassy fruity nose. Silken vanilla custard palate. Soft herbal finish. Built for blending.
Strathmill 12 earns a 6.5 — pleasant, smooth, technically tidy at £60. The rarity is the draw rather than the complexity.
