Nosing gets a pronounced fruit presence, dusty oak, florals, citrus comes into play, a trace of grassy mustiness. Taste: delicate, nuanced, subtle...the palate is much like the nose here, with a little honey added. Finishes softly, trailing off into a faint nuttiness. The Oloroso influence is more a suggestion. This would be a very good whisky to offer an apprehensive first timer, yet interesting enough for an experienced Scotch drinker. I despise the fact that I can't give half stars! Come on, people!! High 80's, 3 1/2 stars.
