Glen Marnoch 18 year old

Aldi own brand 18 year old purchased over 2 years ago, since buying I've had the 21 and 25 year old. The 21 year old was nice and fruity on the noclse. The 25 year old from memory was very nice with a decent amount of peat. I've also had the islay which was very good for a budget islay. Also had the bourbon cask and blended malt from Aldi which were ok.

This one claims to be a highlander and there are some.generic tasting notes on the label/ box/ tube and is bottled at an unsurprising 40% abv. From memory I think it was around 70$. Third dram from the bottle which was opened last night.

Looks like whiskey, golden with nice persistent legs.

On the nose it's light sweet and fruity sweet, fruity floral with a little citrus and sherbet.

Has a good mouth feel, some stone fruit, lighter sweeter stuff, peaches and nectarines, a little medicinal note with a hint of peat on the finish. Last.night I was getting more of a medicinal licorice or anise note on the pallet with a touch more peat and possibly something coastal.

Nice to try, don't think I would buy again, curiosity satisfied without my mind being blown.
