Alexander Murray & Co. 10

The label screams tradition so are the tasting notes going to be the same?  Many of us enjoy the unusual rule breaking distillers, but when push comes to shove, this whisky wins by a Highland kilt!  The bottle tells us that the sweet citrus notes are commingled with beautiful floral notes…..thanks to the gardener of the house!   The nose is ultra aromatic and full of spices , almost like a bake shop.  I found a wonderful complexity and a creamy mouthfeel that would pair nicely with a smoked salmon dinner, yum…. Its mild at 80 proof so why not sub this in for wine next time around?  I have done that more this fall and it’s a winning combination.  This isn’t a dram for the snooty peat lovers, or the status seeking snobs, ( did I just say that?) .  On the flip side however, you’d never get a complaint if you served this 10 year old to a sophisticated friend.  As the benchmark song in “ Fiddler on the Roof” says……Tradition, always welcome here.  Rated a solid 8 , best enjoyed before all the leaves drop.
