I am going to leave the “Must Try” rating on this one, since I still think it’s the best blend available for $20.General delivery information available from the auctioneer I would still recommend this to anyone who wants an easy, inexpensive blended scotch… but it no longer wows. It doesn’t stand out from the crowd as much as I remember. That said, I do notice a bit of a decline in quality since my last attempt to analyze this dram. Try finding another $20/bottle blended scotch that is equally inoffensive. Overall: My primary descriptor for this is “inoffensive” which sounds like damning with faint praise, and it would be if this weren’t still one of the best deals in whisky. A splash of water isn’t a bad idea here, but don’t dilute it too much. The finish also gains a bit more liveliness and a “tingle”. With Water: A few drops of water amp up some much-needed sweetness, adding lemon-lime to the aroma and marshmallow and vanilla pastry cream to the palate. Mild bitterness that lingers longer than the other notes, leaving more bitterness on the tongue than I prefer. Some of the aroma notes (tea, lemon) return. Nutty upfront, with an unexpected hazelnut and dry cocoa note. Otherwise, it’s very baseline blended scotch, with no off notes but also little depth. Together, they almost produce an Arnold Palmer note. There’s also a decent dose of lemon peel. There’s a bit of grassiness that I don’t remember from prior tastings, but it comes across more like green tea than grass.
Nose: Familiar ex-bourbon notes: hay, caramel, vanilla, toffee. I bought the bottle in 2021 for about $20. The bottle still has a “5 Year” age statement on it, thank goodness, and is still bottled at 43% ABV. Alas, I don’t have any details on what that means, so all I can do is stick my nose in a glass and see if I can tell a difference. I’ve been told that the quality of this blend has decreased as the Morrison family no longer has access to the mature whisky stocks that once powered Bank Note. You might also be interested in the peated version, which I did not like nearly as much. Read my original review for details on what goes into Bank Note. It’s easy to recommend Great King Street: Artist’s Blend as a superior example of the art of blended scotch but it costs like $40, more than some single malts, and that’s not quite what people mean when they ask for a good blend. Bank Note 5 year Blended Scotch has been my go-to pick for an inexpensive blended scotch that doesn’t taste like paint thinner (which describes, frankly, almost every non-age-stated blended scotch on the market). Occasionally I remember that whiskies I’ve reviewed years (and years) ago might have changed and could do with a re-taste, especially those that I heavily recommend.
