In the nose, warm vanilla custard, mixed fruits, mild sherry, hints of oak, maybe a touch of chocolate. Taste: molasses on toast with very little butter, hints of sherry, dark or slightly sweet chocolate. Given time in the glass, it gets a bit softer and sweeter. Finish is moderate in length, overall a very good Scotch. Imo, this 15 is a better value than the 18 Allardice.
