Liza is right! A master had to create this blend. Hugely expensive though! What a complex, shifting taste. NOSE- toffee, yum, then intense perfume, floral, and give it a minute chocolate wafts in; PALATE-Spicy, oily, thick, toffee again, then oranges and marmalade, the oak is there but faint; FINISH-strong, lingers delightfully, malty, chocolate makes a comeback, slightly bitter towards the end. Even though a blend (I prefer single malts) this is superb! Only let down by its price :)
