Here's a question: Which of the single malts would you consider the most
herbal in nose and taste?
Lowland malts are considered to be 'herbal' (I had to refresh my memory!) - although there aren't too many - actually just two working distilleries. You have Auchentoshan and Glenkinchie. I also see Johnnie Walker Green (a pure malt) as being 'herbal' - but I'd have to check on whether Glenkinchie contributes (Glenkinchie & Johnnie Walker are both owned by Diageo).

Thank you again. I have been a bit intrigued with the "herbal" type in single malts.

Sirius - which ones do you think of as 'herbal'?

Some of the ones that I think are "herbal":
Cragganmore 12yr
Johnnie Walker Green
Dalwhinnie 15yr
Glenfarclas 12yr
I would like to try Tamnavulin 12yr, but I do not know if it is sold in the US.
Also I would like to try Auchentoshan and Glenkinchie.
