This is an extremely pleasant scotch. One notices a heavy note of caramel right away and the journey is really just beginning. You begin to experience spice where you wouldn't expect it and if you pay attention, you'll be rewarded. On my very last sip, I found fresh mint. It definitely brought a smile to my face. This is a bit lean and fleeting so you don't have much time to spend with the magic, but a dram like this one is worth your time if you can get it.
