Tasted a 2021 bottling of this classic Speyside single malt. Nose: Initially a bit rough around the edges, which I didn't expect for 12 years and 40 ABV. Smoothens out rather quickly though. There's sweet malt, apple juice, lemonade and a slight touch of sherry. It starts to fall apart rather quickly in the glass though, so don't take your time nosing this. Taste: Once again, the initial arrival feels younger than 12 years and 40 ABV. Once it smoothens out, it's an exact copy of the nose. The sherry cask influence is barely noticeable here, but it's definitely present. The palate is overall sweet and very light. Simply for sipping. Finish: Short. Sweet and dry. There's barely anything left to savor here. Final thoughts: a nice and simple Speysider that certainly lives up to its reputation, but can't offer anything more than what it's designed for. If you like to sip your whisky like wine, then this is a decent choice of a malt.
