GREAT whisky, but I don't think anyone would 5 star this on a blind taste. There's true craftsmanship on the blend, as all of the notes work in harmony, but I think they sacrificed texture for the sake of flavour. There's no body - it's incredibly fragile, and while the finish lingers, it also lacks depth. Still fantastic even though the price is fantastical.
Touch of tropics on the nose, with a predominance of ginger and pear. Palate has hints of smoke and subtle spice, with a pleasant amount of heat on the tongue.
