Great stuff, and truly one of the better whiskies I've tasted - if you can't enjoy this, scotch might not be for you. The nose is incredibly complex; fruity, herbaceous, and a generous dose of caramel and vanilla. The palate is wonderful, with oak and salt - you almost feel like you're biting into a warm and baked butter cookie. The finish is long and lingers in your tongue for minutes on end. All in all quite wonderful and accomplished.
