When i first tasted this, i would give it a 2 star simply because it has a very unpleasant metalic finish. And that umpleasantness stays for very long and after a while, thats all i tasted. But this whisky grows on me. 1/4 through the bottle and i am starting to enjoy this one more and more!
Just let this one rest a bit + a few drops of water and you are in for a real positive surprise! Don't dive in 1 minute after you opened the bottle. I suspect some nay-sayers here did just that.
This is awful whisky. No one should buy this. Terrible. Leave it to me to drink all buy myself at this price. Honestly, epic whisky. Beautifully rounded and poised. Astonishing value at this price for 1L. Pour and let it sit for 30 mins or so with half a teaspoon of water. Wow. Citric toffee with layers of dark fruit. Probably my favourite speyside (so far). Gets better and better the more i drink it.
Didn't care for this one. The nose is alright with notes of fresh fruit and honey, along with a touch of dried fruits. Suspect old sherry casks have been used, re-fill and 3rd fill. However there is something off on the palate, like it's gone bad. It is sweet, and fruity and mellow but there is an off note like it's been tainted by a rotten stave if there was such a thing.
I prefer 12 years compared to this. The nose was good but finishing not impressed.
