Greenwich Meridian

2000 Blended Scotch

ABV 40%

Excellent classic blend from the old school: brilliantly firm grain guarantees class and complexity. If they dropped the colour - which affects the taste towards the middle - it would hit amazing heights.

Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Finely tuned and impressive, an intriguing hint of juniper and liquorice co-ordinate with a firm grain.

Palate: Remains firm and here the complexity takes hold with fabulous cocoa, grassy malt and spices.

Finish: Long and simple; malt glow lingers.

Comment: Excellent classic blend from the old school: brilliantly firm grain guarantees class and complexity. If they dropped the colour - which affects the taste towards the middle - it would hit amazing heights.

Score: 9

Taster

Nose: Some fresh peatiness.

Palate: Starts very sweet and syrupy, with some maltiness. Becomes rather bland.

Finish: Weak. Late warmth.

Comment: Seems like an attempt at an old-fashioned blend, but a bit two-dimensional.

Score: 7.3
