Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: very oily, decadent and juicy; loads of creamed honey, Scottish tablet, floral tones, waxy pears and corn syrup; honeydew melon, peaches and some bright orange.

Palate: thick, creamy, coating, decadent and fruity; warm oatmeal with cream and brown sugar; more waxy pears, dried apricot, honeydew melon and orange pith; soft, decadent crisp spices; still sweet and decadent with clean silky grains notes.

Finish: long, coating, creamy and silky with floral vanilla and more soft fruits: melon, citrus and apricots.

Comment: this whisky is both showing its age, but still very lithe and elegant; there are no bitter edges in this grain forward blend; not mind blowing but very good, especially for the price! - $300
