Blackadder The Legendary 2016 Single Malt (Cask LTB 2016-01). Scotland. ABV: 46%. Tasted at Whisky a Day HQ, $150 (bottle).
Colour: Bright copper.
Nose: Mulled wine and stewed apple gently simmering on the stovetop.
Palate: Dried raisins, dry sherry and a thin oily mouthfeel. Light and delicate creme brûlée flavours dance over the tongue.
Finish: Gentle oak and spicy nutmeg, soft black pepper and cinnamon flavours in the fade. Medium length.
Comments: A delightfully gentle sherry cask finished whisky, without being a stereotypical sherry bomb that hits you around the chops. Calling your whisky “Blackadder The Legendary” is a tad pretentious, but did it live up to such lofty self proclamations? No, but it is eminently drinkable. No Age Statement (NAS) and Scottish region unspecified, it has a touch of mystique about it.
I’ve loved other Blackadder whiskies that are more often than not bottled at cask strength. This one is at a more approachable 46% ABV, but it’s still an excellent drop. This was one of only 666 bottles produced, but if you can find one it’s definitely recommended.
