Certainly a lot of complexity to this one, that much is true. Got lots of the leather and old ropes on the nose, as well as a bit of fresh sawdust. Not so much on the fruits, though there was hint of the caramel mentioned. The main issue I had was that it was a little over-board on the alcoholic smell... I got to the subtleties eventually, but it initially hit me like whiffing a bottle of rubbing alcohol. The body was a bit light, as well. Bit of sugary oatmeal in the taste as well. Overall- a light bodied scotch with a wallop to it. Not to my taste, but certainly not bad by any measure. Would be a good one for a summer evening.
This is truly an excellent whisky: as others have intimated, it has the sweetness and purity of a good Speyside and a good deal of the smoke from an Islay; Bunahabhain for instance. I have to say this is certainly one of the most approachable malts i've tried in recent months, and also one of the most enjoyable. For the price this is a superb everyday "within moderation lol" or even gifting whisky; any recipient would be pleased to get this! Excellent.
I love the smooth, sherried style whiskies like the Macallan, and I love the smokey Islay style even more. To me this whisky feels like the nearest one can get to a harmonious marriage between the two. A fabulous dram at a reasonable price.
For me, this is the ultimate dram. Just the right amount of sherry ageing, with a hint of brine and Sam Brown belts. Coats the mouth fully. An absolute belter!
