M & S Special Reserve Kenmore 5 Year Old 2010s

Kenmore seems to be named for a small village at the north east end of Loch Tay which has anumber of distilleries nearby, including Edradour, Aberfeldy and Glenturret. Full, smooth & lightly peated, Kenmore is a unique aged blend which achieves the highest standard expected of the best whiskies of Scotland. On the nose it’s got toffee and sherbert lemons, with a bit of sticky flapjack behind. On the palate it’s creamy, with vanilla, nutmeg and some of the lemon from the nose and freshly cut oak notes. It has a fairly long finish, with rice pudding, cinnamon bark and clove.
