Mini-review: Captain Cognac


This was a blind sample from @Maltman_Mike which turned out to be the Glenlivet Captain's Reserve



In the glass: yellow gold, swirls lead to slow fat legs, initial nose apricots.

Nose: Apricots, some orange, wet hay and a hint of nuts.

Palate: Watery honey with walnuts and more of the orange - nice spicy cinnamon bite.

It turned out to be the Glenlivet Captain's Reserve - a nice easy drinking dram - definite step up from the Founder's Reserve.
