Well, this won't be an in depth review, just too tired. Last week of vacation and my wife has been trying to kill me. Oh, she calls it "home improvement" but she's not fooling me. The nose of this whisky was confusing. I get a maltiness, fruit and vanilla that I really like. On the other hand there was a soapy oak undertone that was off-putting. Really bothersome. Once you get to the palate though all that is forgotten. This is good stuff. It is really like a smooth rye whisky, spices (salt, pepper, vanilla and cardemom) and all poured over a bowl of fruit. At the end, on the back of the tongue ther is a HUGE peach burst. I mean just like you bit into a lovely ripe juicy peach. This peach lingers on and on and on. It also has a nice oily quality and a bit of a warming burn, most likely due to the 46% abv. Not sure I would purchase a bottle, it is 559 SEK ( ~$68 USD) here in Sweden. There are cheaper whiskies available that I like better, such as GlenDronach 12 yo. Still, I will remember that massive burst of peach. OK, this was longer than I planned. guess my Russian gulag gaurd didn't tire me out as much as I thought. :-)
