Scotland, September 2017. Whisky #12 Nose: Fruity, vanilla, honey. Palate: Honey sweet with raisin and milk chocolate notes. Sweet rich and rounded. Finish: Medium, mainly fruity sweet. Nice whisky, very easy to drink. A few drops of water opens it up. Hard not to like but lacking the complexity to make it really interesting. The Dalwhinnie 15 year is less immediately sweet and rich but has a more subtle, and ultimately more rewarding, profile. I'd rate them as roughly equal with this expression having a slightly sweeter presentation overall. Good value, and nothing in particular to criticize. "Above Average" : 80/100 (3 stars)
