(2015 bottling) Nose bursting with ripe, floral orchard fruits, baked banana and nutty sherry. With added water; candied pineapple, ginger and rich vanilla beneath a layer of dark chocolate. All perfectly balanced against the ideal amount of smooth savory smoke. Hints of mint and menthol, even sweet curry! Fruits and cocoa carry through the mouth-filling palate with cereal and orange spice. Touch of macadamia nut. Smoooooooooooooth. Long and dry, smokey finish. Eminently satisfying. Axis Mundi, like all the richest qualities of Scotland's single malts combined and balanced out, no individual overpowering the rest. Almost the only whisky I'd ever need... If it just wasn't discontinued. 😭 Dry glass: sweet malt and ...faint dried salami...?

Recently tried it and agree it's terrific. Luckily here in PA I can out my hands on a 100 bottles or so through the local state stores within 25 miles of my home.
It was discontinued at the end of 2013, then brought back for a limited time for its tenth anniversary this year, but only a limited availability until their gone again. If you look at JW's site on the US, it isn't listed at all anymore! Perfectly comparable to the old bottling in my memory, snatch up every bottle you can find...
is it discontinued? I just saw a bottle this past weekend for for $55 here in central NJ (Total Wine)...I'm thinking I should pick it up while it's still on the shelves
