The whisky I’ve probably had the most of. Very smooth, elegant dram. I can tell it’s been in a barrel for 16 years. For me, it opens with mint and an almost bubblegum-y fruity character that gives way to an earthy, kind of ashy-ness character with the peat. Its very smooth after and finishes off with some nice oakiness and caramel, mixing in with some fruitiness and maybe honey. The ultimate nostalgic whisky for me now. One of my favorites, but several whiskys have passed it up. It always falls a little too thin and weak at 43% for me
