It took me five minutes to pinpoint it, but the initial nosing reminded me precisely of Chileta Piña, a Mexican pineapple candy with chile powder; on the palate is more tropical fruit, golden raisins, Deglet Noor dates, and light brown sugar; next, there is a forward salt-and-spice aspect and an earthy edge of peat; the mouthfeel is warm and creamy; it finishes sweet and brings lemon poppyseed muffins to mind; finesse and balance are the trademarks here—I tend not to prefer cloying Scotch, and despite the consensus I don't find this one overly sweet. Very well crafted.
