Not super big on blended Scotch but the this is an exception. Nose is excellent. Hint of ethanol along with fruit and sherry. The palate is very smooth with more fruit, a touch of honey and warming spices. The finish is sweet with raisins and chocolate. The mouth feel is creamy. At $70 it’s the most I would pay but I would buy again depending on how the other Compass Box Scotches fair in my tastings.
