Queen Mary I Fine and Rare Scotch Whisky 1980s (75cl, 43%)

This is Queen Mary I Fine and Rare, a blended Scotch whisky from the 1980s, bottled by Premier Scotch Whisky Co. The label gives 43% ABV and a 75cl bottle, and states that it was distilled, aged and blended in Scotland. In the tasting notes the nose is fresh, with green apples, grapefruit and dry wood. The palate is light to medium in body, oily and malty, with toasted grain and walnuts, and a faint sherry-cask sweetness that the grain whisky's dryness soon balances. The finish is short to medium, clean and slightly dry.
