Considering this appears to have been discontinued in 2013, this bottle has been sitting on a local store shelf for a long time, and the build-up of dust on the tin would agree.
The nose is red winey and a little briny. Wisp of smoke. On the palate, the bourbon casks hit me first with vanilla sweetness. The red fruit follows close behind. The finish brings a smidge of peat smoke. A little pepper, then barley sugar lingers. It's a little bit thin, but overall I'm really pleased with this. I'm not sure Brew-law-dee can make a bad whisky.
Update: this is one that has continued to grow on me with each new taste. The peat level is vaguely reminiscent of Springbank/Kilkerran. Really solid whisky.
