This whisky has a wonderfully fruity nose. I really didn't want to proceed to sip because I was enjoying the nasal experience. I get candied pears. In the mouth the whisky is lighter and with a more delicate taste than I expected . To be honest, the flavour was good (fruity again), but not as full as I was expecting - a bit of a letdown for me after that wonderful smell. To be honest I haven't made my mind up on this whisky. I like it, but is it workth $100 Cdn? I think it's going to take a couple more tastings for me to make that conclusion.

I couldn't agree more. While the Yellow is a truly fine whisky, for me the Green Spot delivers while this one is too restrained ... perhaps some might say refined, others complex. At any rate, when I want a truly smooth and refined whisky, I go to Midletons Very Rare, Macallan's Rare Cask or similar. Those fine whiskys deliver the whole package and wrap it up with a pretty bow. A lot to spend for that approach but to me it is worth it.
