An intriguing nose of peaches and jasmine. Rich flavors of shortbread, ginger, lemon and a glimpse of peach in the mouth. Lots of oak spice on the finish. Very nice, but dare I say a little boring? I think what the entire special releases range appears to lack is much in the way of mouthfeel. There are none of the lovely, unctuous oils I am enjoying in the tastiest bottles I have open from Springbank, Kilkerran or Clynelish. An unfair comparison perhaps, but for me at least the difference between special and spectacular.
