Nose: friendly, mild spices, vanilla sweetness, orchard fruits. Slightly floral. Palate: balanced, mouth covering sweetness and spices evolving together. Almond. Spices and dryness getting dominant for subsequent sips. Finish: long, oaky, chocolate, nuts. Overall, well balanced, complex, nice dram, but I am missing a bit more character. I agree with S4D member, who said "I like more whisky in my whisky" in their review.
