Erm, it smell and taste like a lighter Glenfarclas 12. Thats awkward as it is much more expensive than the 12. Smooth fruits and vanilla dominate the entire palate, followed with some spices. Personally I like the Glenfarclas 15 more. Its cheaper and the taste and smell is stronger, not as complex but the sherry and fruits punch is there~ Glenfarclas 17 3.5/5
