Bitter grapefruit citrus sweet and strange, not very easy. A drop of water, give it a lot of time, it's all right. Mysterious. Something there I'm not friend with.

Creamy, sweet, fruity, malty. Honey and some allspice. Apple and pears. Full bodied. A scotch every type of scotch drinker would enjoy. Complex but approachable. I think I would use this to introduce scotch to a newbie…and still love drinking the dram myself. Didn’t understand the low scores on this, but the pro review was years ago —- they’ve clearly done much over the years to improve.

How this gets such a low score and something like Macallan Double Oak gets a much higher one, I can't understand. This is very well balanced and tasty.
