Ill not lie, this one of my favourite drams and i enjoy the 12 18 and 21 also. Nose is all ablut rhose sweet maraschino cherrys but as rhe drink develops innthe gkass their is actually a small hint of smoke The palate is rich and sweet and should be savoured. Lots of the usual dark dried fruits coming through. Fryit cake tastic The finaih is medium with a little wood ans spixe to round off the sweetness. I just finished my bottle and will be getting more!
