Entry is classic highland malt: sweet roasted malt. There are some floral notes, but the character enters, remains, and stays subdued. I have a hard time detecting any sherry-cask notes at all, and oakiness in general is on the low side. The flip-side to this that the dram is smooth and non-offensive. There is a hint of smoke, and the spiciness comes a little too close to burning than I'd like for a whisky of this price and age, but it remains composed and smooth, nonetheless. The finish remains subdued, if a little spicy, but it is incredibly long. Overall, this is whisky reminds me of Canadian whiskey: very polite, but insufferably boring

The expert reviews tasting notes are spot on. Couldn’t say it better so I’ll leave it at that!
