Produced by Whyte & Mackay in Scotland, John Barr Reserve Blend combines Highland malt and grain whiskies and rests at 80 proof. It's priced at around $25.
The palate is jammy, lightweight, and middle-of-the-road. With a backbone of grain, there are flavors of graham cracker, chocolate ganache, well-baked fruitcake, banoffee pie, smoke, and dried peels, with a burst of spices on the finish.
