Nose: fruity, orchard fruits, honey crisp apple, honey, malt, light citrus, orange, tangerine, cinnamon bark note, autumnal hay-like notes, woody spices, rich nose overall, few drops of water open up the malt sweetness some, hint of vanilla hides in the background tries to pop out. Taste: orchard fruits, blend of citrusy notes, lemon, has a nice oily coating feel- gives it a fullness on the palette, transitions to a peppery note, light ashy barrel spice, malt sweetness does show back up in the finish (as suggested) and compliments the spice notes very nicely, slightest hint of a leather note (maybe?), a good medium to long finish overall. Very good for the price point, really enjoyed this one a lot. I would definitely get it again.

Not bad, definitely spicy and can taste the alcohol. Probably won’t order again, but won’t turn it away.

Typical speyside notes such as sweet rich malt, floral and apple with the not so typical light smoke. I enjoyed it.
