Moncreiffe Signature Blended Scotch Whisky

Priya Sharma — Reliable and crowd-pleasing

7/10

Brought this to a tasting and it disappeared fast. Rich amber colour, ripe fruit on the nose, soft and approachable on the palate with just enough complexity to keep things interesting. It's the kind of whiskey that makes everyone at the table happy.

Clara Johansson — Exceptional depth and balance

8/10

This is a whiskey that rewards patience. The first sip is all caramel and vanilla, but give it twenty minutes in the glass and layers of baking spice, toasted oak, and dried stone fruit emerge. The mouthfeel is silky and rich. One of the best bottles I've opened this year.
