This inexpensive (~$19) single malt Highland is reputed to be a vatting of 6 and 8 year old lenrothes. Good everyday drinker. Lismore is bottled by Wm Lundie & Company

Lismore Pure Single Highland Malt
Review by TradeWhisks
- Color
- Light Amber
- Nose
- Toffee, Butterscotch, Honey, Vanilla, Citrus, varied Floral Notes, and a fragrant touch of Oak interspersed with what appears to be the undulating drift of Cranberries and Rum Raisins.
- Body
- Very Full Bodied, Thick, Oily, yet Soft and Mercurial, very gently rolling off, rather than seeping into, the contours of the tongue.
- Palate
- Sweet Barley, Cereal notes, interesting amalgam of ripe Pear and red Apple, balanced against a Toffee - Chocolate union underscored by a peppery, Bourbon Oak.
- Finish
- Medium - Long. An unobtrusive descent leaves one craving for a Warmth that, until the very point of its arrival, leaves one fearing disappointment. Yet, like the calm before the storm, a gentle yet assertive spiciness emerges to quench the demand for satisfaction. Very nice.
This single Malt is young, fresh, surprisingly complex, and a pleasure to consume. There are no explosive flavors here as can be typically found in the older single Malts, but the relatively strong nose grows well with a subtle, if immature, palate. Of course, for $24.99 this is a clear winner.

Review by Thepourfool
- Color
- Mdium Straw
- Nose
- Leads with a touch of sea salt riding atop smoked peat. Earthy loam aroma follows and traces of nuts and caramel.
- Body
- Medium-bodied, light on the palate, with a faint oiliness that is very flattering. It doesn't coat the tongue as much as brush it.
- Palate
- Caramel, almonds, mushrooms, and leather predominating. Faint hint of petroleum (not off-putting) and a mineral tang.
- Finish
- Timed out as 25 seconds; respectable.
There are a lot worse ways to spend your limited bux in the Scotch world. If you keep your expectations reasonable, you'll probably enjoy this a lot.
