Wonderful nose. The full mature oaky punch demonstrates the 12 years were well used. Good tasting, chewy and oily, pleasant. The nose is a birdie drive. Taste is a three putt to par. (Name pun….. sorry). To be fair, I’ve had three ounces to describe the taste and am struggling. Not the charged taste I hoped for, but pleasant. Maybe it’s me. (I bet the cask strength would be outstanding.) At the price point, $125, I’d recommend you try it. I’ll buy again.
