I'd somehow managed to pass this one by; the A'bunadh's great, so I wanted to try the flagship whisky. It doesn't disappoint! The nose is loaded with spices, jammy dark fruit, and toasted nuts. The palate, for me, needs a little time (and a water back) to really shine through, but when it does, those same sherry influenced dark dried fruits and nuts mingle with spices, vanilla, caramel, savory herbs, and a drying, woody finish. For a $50 singe malt, this is way solid!
