I haven't been into scotch for a great deal of time but being a long time fragrance and coffee enthusiast I do know a thing or two about quality. This one is my favourite drop so far, first smell and taste was such a treat as is every glass from then on. Very rich but extremely smooth, I wouldn't say a finishing bite necessarily but definitely a lot of solid presence there. For me it's a solid, genuine and beautiful to drink whisky. It's going to take something special for this to be beaten in my book.
