Trying to decide about this whisky. There is definitely nothing offensive or overpowering. The nose is good, with sherry present, and, with time, chocolate. The palate is creamy and sweet, but a bit weak. The finish is medium long, with oak and some sherry. It finishes dry and with a touch of bitterness. For the price it is good. If I had to pick a word to describe it, I would pick that terrible word that says everything and nothing at the same time. This is a nice whisky.

Toasted nuts, honey, and vanilla on the nose, with a hint of perfume/flowers in the back. Medium candy sweetness on the palate, something like dried apricot, leaving a mild cinnamon peppery taste behind. Classic, clean Speyside. Would prefer a bit more intensity, but it's also not overly sweet, thankfully.
