A similar nose the the 15: honey, tea, heather and vanilla; soft and sweet. A hint of dandelion? Like a warm spring April day. A soft arrival, thin and light. The honey notes dominant which then reveals brown sugar. A bit of spicy pepper begins to creep in and becomes the primary remnant on the the palate. Hints of oak and drying tannins are the last notes of flavor on the palate. A good whisky that's easy, not overly complex and enjoyable. Balanced, soft, sweet and dry.
