This is definitly another one for the sherried whisky fans. It's got some lovely oak. It's not entirely too complex, but has some nice structure. There's a lovely honey note.

- Nose
- Very subtle. Malt, very slight citrus. Very slight alcohol burn. Fragrant
- Body
- Smooth and wet. Thin.
- Palate
- Spicy. Malt, oak. Complex and mature.
- Finish
- A very long and very spicy finish. Some sour notes in the end, then minty.
This is a very good and easy scotch, but not too easy. It is very complex and mature, and yields surprising amounts of spice.
