Sometimes you just want to be happy. You don't need to wax and wain over 200 flavors. You don't want to spend hours over it. You just want it to be perfect. This is that whisky Nose - Sweet funky sherry malt. Taste - Oily, viscous and rich. Fruity and yet sharp and slightly acidic. Finishing in a wave of flavor an intensity that rivals most peated 60% bombs. I could and I will go into more depth on a video review, but that's all just so much excessive detail. The reality is this just works. It's shockingly bold for 49.9%. It's got a finish that no 12 year whisky should be able to have. It's just perfect And perfect....that's a 4 star review all day. 4.25 because it's just that good. This won't change your life so lets not go 5 star.
