A 17 year for $60? Yeah, I'll give that a try, thank you very much Costco. Nose is light and floral, and reminds me of Dalwhinnie without the honey. Palate is very smooth, and coats the mouth nicely. What starts quite nicely as sweet and fruity, redolent with apples and pears and honeydew, turns quickly bitter with a blast of grain alcohol that wipes out the fruit and leads promptly to a short, dry, slightly novacaine finish. Very reminiscent of Chivas 12 with more body. This could have been so much more with just a little better blending. As it is, it's ok, and I wouldn't turn it down by any stretch, but I won't be buying another bottle either.
