Better then the 12 but still just OK.

Spicy, vanilla

Color: rosy caramel Nose: warm, spiced malt, stewed raisin, toffee, candied orange peels, little bit of tropical notes like banana and a hint of pineapple Palate: medium bodied, sweet malt, honey, mineral grape skin, mango, sultanas and toffee again Finish: really long, fragrant lingering spice, a whisper of peat smoke, little hints of banana, malty backbone Impression: picked this up in Europe for 46 euros, a steal compared to US prices. Really nice scotch and a big step up in complexity from the 12. Very enjoyable and not overly thin or light, has a nice meaty body while keeping the smoke/peat subtle.
