RB12, I’ve long anticipated trying this dram, and at first try this single pot still does the trick. A lovely marriage of malted and inmates barely tied together with great aromatics, good palate, and a surprisingly long finish. The nose—lots of floral and wood tones, the fruity notes are not shy and come through in tail and bring a citrus balance, the sweeter notes are hidden down below and buried by the aforementioned, but by far a delightful aroma and a good tale of what’s to come. The taste—not love at first sip as expected, but the fullness in the body coats your tongue with a warm subtle bit with wood and floral tones—similar to those found in the aromatics—the sweetness and fruit soon follows for a pleasant finish the balance of vanilla and citrus are not hard to detect but can get lost with wood/floral/spice start. All-in-all this is a very tasty bottle, despite not holding up to my high expectations, I don’t feel slightest on the least, as with most, this bottle will only become more lovable as you dive into over time, those characteristics mid-bottle will shine and show their true intent. I cannot wait to dive into the next dram.
