If you want a good session scotch this is it! The sherry influence doesn't over power this whisky yet lends subtle tropical fruit. I find myself constantly comparing this to Dalmore 12 and find the tha Dalmore lacking. This whisky has grain subtlety and spice in balance. The finish is medium with spice and grain. Overall an easy and welcomed simplicity. A great whisky for any night or introducing friends to the category.
