(first tasting, right after opening and letting sit in glass for 30 minutes) Nose : Initially hit with strong tropical fruit notes, pineapple, mango, etc. Coming back to it, it reminds me of a butterscotch malt from a diner. Tropical fruits, butterscotch, caramel, vanilla, barley sugar, oak. Palate : Oak, butterscotch, apple, pineapple, slight spice. Thick and velvety mouthfeel, very smooth and creamy. Overall this is probably the best value Scotch i have ever purchased. This was $75 and well worth every penny. Non chill filtered, natural color, and 46% abv add to the greatness. If you can find this for $75-$85, grab two of them. 10/10 value, 8.5/10 palate, 9/10 nose.
