Simply delightful. Nose: figgy caramel, sweet and savory sherry, rich oak (exeptional quality casks, similar to Benromach). Slight salty-sour vegetal note in the background, like a half-sour garlic pickle (in a very good way). Palate: crisp sweet apple, more quality oak, deep, earthy, slowly bittering, yet still somehow delicate. Finish: warming vanilla, bitter oak spices, drying orange peel. Many make comparisons to Macallan, but this is more reminiscent of a Dalmore, albeit sans cocoa, in my opinion. Dry glass: sweet malt and earthy Brazil nuts.

@Pranay I work at a distillery, so it's not REALLY fair. But we ended up only having the 18 year old, which I of course tasted. 😋
Wait...there's booze at your office?!!?? I'm applying...don't care of the responsibilities or job.
I think we have this at the office. Going to give it a try tomorrow!
This is one I have been waiting to try. Full aroma and flavor profile (from what I read).
I think I wrote the phrase "in a good way" more here on this site than anywhere else. " smells like greasy engine oil and skunk juice. In a good way."
