Ran slightly hot for me at first. Heat subsided in about 5 minutes with an ice ball. Smooth flavor. Hints of vanilla, light caramel, and sugar. Glad I was able to purchase as its a very limited offering. I was lucky enough to get after a Dalmore tasting session at a liquor store that only got 6 bottles. Only 3600 bottles available in US. Not in my absolute favorite scotches, but pretty high up there.
