Despite its namesake, this expression turned out to be a little less woodsy than I expected. It was also barely inspiring. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it; vivacity was simply lacking. Having said that, the way in which the green apple, honey and almond aromas came together was extremely balanced. And the finish... remarkably smooth. For a whisky lover who is inclined towards Speyside whiskies, this is perhaps your quintessential dram and definitely should be a part of your core collection. Otherwise, try it once for the experience and move on.
