Very much a Highland scotch. Sweet, reminiscent of blackforest cake with slivered almonds and honey.

Found this at Costco. Fantastic dram. Neat, it has a subtle spice and a great feel in the mouth, almost the viscosity of a thin simple syrup. With a single ice cube, warmer notes with citrus, sweet wine, and vanilla come out nicely. Definitely a favorite.

Add water. It’ll do wonders!

Small spicy sweetness w some fruit. Full mouth taste.

Dark gold color, viscous, non-chill filtered. Nose is medium strength, with hints of black pepper, vanilla, oak, and a bit of shoe polish-like conifer. Palate is rich and full, with almonds, oak, vanilla, raisins, chocolate, caramel, butter scotch, and sherry. Finish is medium length, with a touch of bitterness, with more caramel and floral notes. A few drops of water in this 46% ABV dram opens more floral notes, sherry, raisins, apricots, vanilla, and rounds up the finish. Overall very pleasant and mature dram, greatly enjoyable.
