A great Scotch, this is a big and bold malt punch to the face in all the best ways. The malt is tempered by the lovely fruit and spices, and a bit of sweet oakiness and vanilla comes through as well. This hits many of the notes I want in a young and bold whisky like this and does it without veering into being too sweet or too young. What a great selection.
