Nose: fresh lime! A lot less peppery than last batch and very smooth citrus. Taste: ripe citrus fruits, a little sharp, medium bodied. Aftertaste: medium with some spices I would say this is a stronger flavor Glenfiddich 12. Both sweeter and spicier. Which makes me think this is a 8-10year old whisky. This batch (tasted 2017 July), show more bodied, much more smoother, and very refreshing at the same time. For the price, recommended!
