Fantastic whiskey, but I question its price point. Picture a much smoother 15-year-old with possibly the longest finish I've ever encountered in a whiskey. It's great, but for value, the 15 is the way to go.
The nose presents orange, vanilla, and oak. It's acidic with a sharpness that significantly mellows with a bit of water. The finish is long and persistent.
Really nice floral notes. A touch of honey, citrus, very subtle smoke, and a peppery ending. I also detect some apple.
Simple, smooth, with a brief mild smoky flavor in the aftertaste. Sweetish scent.
Strong peat flavor, but it's so smooth that it doesn't bother me.
Sweet honey. Gentle smoke. Delightful.
