One of the first Single Malts I sampled, it's surprising to return to this years later with a more developed palate. There's a reason this is so popular... Gentle, balanced, subtle and charming. Nose of pear, vanilla, light nuttiness, almost macadamia nut. Palate reminds me of a rich white-chocolate macadamia nut cookie. Brief but complementing finish. As for it's fellow green bottled rival; What The Glenlivet has, this lacks, namely tropical fruits, but what The Glenlivet lacks, this has, a light delicious waft of sweet bacon-like smoke. Dry glass: chocolate and faint peanut butter...
