Lovely floral nose, reminiscent of a summer night in a botanical garden. A sip uncovers flavors of lemons, custard and a bite of spice. The finish is long, sweet and malty. Perversely, I tasted this after trying the 21-year-old at the weekend, forgetting that I had samples of both, so I’ve missed the opportunity to try them side by side. No question that the 21 is in a different class, but this is a worthy example of a floral style I like almost as much as the peat monsters.

@Rick_M There's a whisky for every mood, and tonight's is mellow
The operative words there are “almost as much as.” :)
