    Color
    Light straw
    Nose
    Earthy, some straw, maybe even a touch of ammonia? Then honey. Distinctive and pleasant.
    Body
    Medium body.
    Palate
    The honey comes through on the palate along with a bit of earthy character and salt.
    Finish
    Smooth finish with lingering honey.

    I received this bottle as a gift. My initial opinion was not overly enthusiastic, but the whisky grows on you. Good price for the 16 yr. I plan to investigate the 10 yr. Nice bottle of a distillary that is coming back.
