Though its youth is quite apparent, this is a very nice and balanced whisky, with pleasant aromas of orange zest, dark chocolate, malted barley and clove (a generous dose of spice). The body is a tad light and the finish regretfully short, but all in all this is quite delicious.

My problem is that I live in Wisconsin, where shipping hard liquor to oneself domestically is a challenge. You'd think a state that can drink the other 49 under the table and generally has pretty loosey-goosey alcohol laws wouldn't be this way, and yet here we are. I'd also say that I wouldn't drop $75 on this bottle, either; I think the cost prior to shipping was $32 from the UK, and I make the shipping more reasonably by just buying a ton from MoM at once. So, we'll say it was about $50 all said and done, and it's certainly worth that.
@revkev- it is available in the US. A quick search on winesearcher.com revealed 4 shops online with a median price of about $75 for the 10yo. There were a couple of shops offering the 15yo, as well. Cheers.
Yup. Good stuff.
I had a dram of this in Fort William back over the summer; if I'd realized it's not on the shelves in the US, I'd have brought home a bottle. Really tasty, especially for a 10 year old malt!
