Nose: Floral, fruity, definitely a Speyside Palate: Floral, pear, bright. A hint of smoke and peat but very subtle. Has a kick due to high ABV. Much more complex than the 12yr. Finish: Long and warm. Complex flavors settle in. One of the best Speysides I’ve tried. I am an Islay fan so some smoke and peat is a plus for me.
