    Opposing flavours are great.

    Very bright, clean smell, like castor sugar. Finish is like pipe tobacco , but the sweetness is still there. Smooth but the alcohol stings the nose.

    Best buy in my area! Cheaper than Glenmo 10, more character than Speyburn, 'livet and 'fiddich

    43% in the US, should be 46%! I would absolutely give 5 stars if it wasn't chill filtered and didn't have added colorant. Among the flagship 10-12 year old malts - those ubiquitous and not too expensive ones at every bar - this and Glenmorangie 10 have the most character to me. OP12 tastes older than its age and has nice complexity. FWIW I initially hated it - tried it in the same session after Highland Park 12 - a no-no! Since then I've bought a few more bottles, given it as gift (which was very much enjoyed). I am not into "bottle A is better than bottle B" - I do like some better, but I keep most of them in my cabinet and pick one depending on the mood. And I base my orders firmly on price - when the price is right I buy OP12, Glenlivet, Speyburn, Glenmorangie. If the price is higher on these, I'll rather pay a bit more and explore some of the craft-presentation offerings or older expressions.

    More than just an entry level whisky.

    This remains one of my favourite single malt whiskies, it has a clean, crisp, and inviting flavour. It's not a winter whisky, but it's a great way to welcome the coming of spring.

    Very Good

    A nice smooth highland whisky, not quite up to Tobermory though.
