Quite nice for the money, especially in 20% off. Wouldnt guess 12yo Speyside, rather 8, 10 tops. It is not bad, but it's rather mediocre, without character with some nice hints in the taste. Smell: Acetone, bit of fermentation sourness and faint honey. Taste: Sourdough bread crust, pear, black pepper Finish: Little bit dry, slowly fainting wit some sweetish layer, black pepper in taste comes to cumin tingling, caraway seeds bitterness
