Been a while, so time to settle in and rate and old friend. Very sweet nose with hints of marzipan, light oak, and almost a buttercream frosting - the sherry barrel is in control here. People who don't like scotch would like the nose. Approachable flavor remains sweet, but somewhat dry - some almond/honey notes mimic the nose for me - some other fruits emerge. Pleasant and easy drinking. Not the most complex scotch, but one that never disappoints!
