Nice color, with cidery, drying aromas of blood orange and orchard fruits; I taste sweet cereal and tart berries, white pepper and citrus chocolate — all enveloped by a balanced oakiness; the finish is fruity, with drying tannins; berries stay for the otherwise oak-driven aftertaste. If lacking in complexity, the storied, rich oak in this dram is just phenomenal.

I was quite surprised that the cask quality was really decent... didn't expect that with such a mass-produced malt. Good review!
I'll have to give this a try. Nice description.
