Straw to light caramel color in the glass. Love the nose on this one. Leather, light smoke and honeyed grain. Neat it enters with a light sweetness reminiscent of biscotti. The leather note from the nose is also there, ending in a light and citrusy finish. I enjoyed this one. A definite step up from my regulars, Dewar's White Label and Famous Grouse, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the Dewar's Scratched Cask. A definite keeper for the bar and a solid 4 stars.

Thanks, Slainte! I am more of a bourbon fan but I am starting to delve a little deeper into the Scotch World (I recently took my first trip to Islay with a bottle of Laphroaig).
Good to see you around, as I am not active on proof66 anymore... You are more into bourbon, right? Nice review, and on your good health malt mate!
