The oak and resin come through on palate and finish. A bit too harsh neat for me and I don’t struggle with much neat. It is complex and a little more sweetness (coconut) comes out with water/ice. I probably wouldn’t buy again but I tend to side with more fruity. Definitely warming as bottle says. Personally think you can get some nice singles for less in the high £40s\early £50s range but I’m glad I tried!
Typical of those Speyside distilleries whose production goes primarily into blends- this has subtle fruit and spice notes, with the gentle sweetness traditionally familiar from the heart of Speyside . Recommended to serious enthusiasts
Love it! Great general scotch taste, but on the finish I actually got a strong coffee flavor which I personally really found pleasant. New favorite for sure.
I have not found any flora & fauna I didnt like, this one is no exception, one of the most sweet honey, nutty flavored I have tried. A whisky for desert.
