{"product_id":"highland-queen-blended-scotch","title":"Highland Queen Blended Scotch","description":"\u003cp\u003eHighland Queen is a very basic blend, with a limited ex-bourbon barrel flavor palate. But surprisingly lacking the off-notes that mar most entry-level blends for me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose: Sweet, with honey and caramel initially. Standard apples and pears (apple juice), but not a lot of fruit otherwise. A touch of nutmeg. Very simple, but pretty decent for an entry-level blend, with a surprising lack of solvent notes. T\u003cspan\u003ehere is the sweetness of the sherry with notes of candied fruit and soft spices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate: Apples remain the most prominent here, caramel-dipped. Honey, with a bit of vanilla. Something faintly herbaceous, but nothing specifically identifiable. Maybe a touch of anise. Light and watery mouthfeel, with no real burn. T\u003cspan\u003ehe tingly sweetness of the sherry continues, with hints of leather and spice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Short. Quick and clean, just faint apple juice and honey. Disappears with no off notes, but a slight touch of bitterness does creep in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis base blend gets a decent score from Jim Murray (though still below average), and a positive review (but a low score) from Jonny at Whisky Advocate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e40% ABV \/ 80 Proof\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e750 ML\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jensens Liquors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43302760087626,"sku":"81389702023","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/9009\/4410\/files\/highland-queen.png?v=1770737740","url":"https:\/\/jensensliquors.com\/products\/highland-queen-blended-scotch","provider":"Jensens Liquors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
