Maclean's Nose Blended Scotch Whisky Review
Named after both an iconic figure in Scotch whisky and a local landmark, Maclean’s Nose makes for a perfect bar cart Scotch. Its profile is welcoming and approachable, with bright citrus and wafts of honey on the nose, giving way to silky chocolate and nougat notes on the palate. All in all, this non-chill filtered malt (70 percent) and grain (30 percent) blend offers one of the best bargains in the category.
