The usual speyside notes cranked up to an eleven with a spicier and fruitier finish thanks to its 120+ proof. This is the only speyside scotch I’ve tied that has a 60%ABV strength and I loved it. I wish I had a glencairn to explore this beautiful scotch. Palate was all full body, sweet but spicy with honey suckle, plums, vanilla and pepper. The 48% first released is listed for 119. I had this at a party so not sure how much is the second release.
