Colour is deep gold, almost amber. Smell is very balanced: vanilla, toffee, candied fruit, roasted nuts, butter, like shortbread, with a hint of smoke and saltiness. Taste is also very well ballanced, but full bodied, a bit spicier than expected, is has a long end more on the woody side. Doesn’t feel as creamy as other single malts of the same age, but is a great whisky at an incredible good price.
