I have run into this at least 5 or 6 times with people who swear by its incredible value. So although I rarely drink Scotch, I'm checking it out properly. Vibrant golden/ slightly tarnished brass in color. Fairly sticky on the glass... Fairly wide spaced legs emerge and run slowly off the sides of the glass. Nose is honey, buttered toast, fresh cut alfalfa hay, sawdust, a hint of eucalyptus. Big, rich mouth feel coats with a sweet front. Honey, shortbread, and a hint of toasted pecans. It yields shortly to a warm, gently spiced mid palate before returning to the sweetness without overcoming the hints of oak coming through on the medium finish. It's very good. I will stock this on the bar.
