I picked this up on a whim because I couldn't believe there was a 12yo single malt available for $16. It was a good decision.
Faint pear and oats on the nose. Palate is dominated by honey and vanilla with flashes of green fruit, cut grass, grain, and wood tannins. Soft and sweet. Finish is more fruit and vanilla and every once in a while a whiff of smoke.
It doesn't need water and it gets flabby if you let it oxidize. Benefits from a fresh palate; I find it tastes better before noon.
This isn't the best whisky in my cabinet but it also isn't the worst, and this bottle sees the light more often than any of my more expensive ones. It's a fantastic value for a solid unpretentious dram.
