I have lately been lately splurging into high end blended scotch and after the dissapointment that Johnnie Walker 18 was this is such a lovely surprise. Sweet nose. I get some sweet fruity notes. Caramelized apple comes to mind. Sweet & oily mouth feel and a bit of smoke on the finish. This is something I would share with my none scotch drinkers to try to lure them into this hobby. Might have found my favorite blend. Reasonably priced too.
