I recently attended a tasting of this distillery where I tried their 10,12,15,18,21 and their cask strength expressions.There is some sweet spiciness to the nose, sort of like a cinnamon covered pastry. On the palate I got some floral/ dried fruit notes up front followed by spiciness and vanilla notes. It has a medium finish which brings out a lot of oak (cask) influence. It does have a Christmas character to it which would make this a great dessert dram. This is a fantastic scotch at a somewhat affordable price.
