Some call it lightweight, but all notes are in perfect definition for me, like HiFi. It just works for me. Good balance between sherried, (sweet) dryness and wood. All I ask for in this whisky. Doesn't seem too popular, but strangely enough I always come back for this one. Love the bottle. I try not to drink other whiskey's before this one; it's too delicate for that. I like to start the evening with a glass of Glenfarclas 10 yo (or cheaper 12yo) and let the others follow
