As soon as you open the bottle, you can smell the oranges. I especially love the color...elegant orange golden hue (probably coloring added? ). The taste is rich and refined. I'm getting oranges with honey. Figs and chocolate. Amazingly smooth. I just had the Master of Malt Darkness Macallan 15 PX, and this one is by far better. It's just more elegant. I don't smoke, but if I did, I can see a Cigar going well with this. The combination of oranges, honey, figs and chocolate is almost perfect. Really good for the price, and a worthwhile treat to,replace dessert.
