First 18 year old scotch, so please excuse if my palate is not as matured as others. Nose - Vanilla and oak on the nose, I’m struggling to find the sugary/sweet smell. Love the vanilla though ! Palate - After a few mouthfuls I’ve found the oak very apparent with orange (sweet) coming out. Finish - A very long finish, even minutes after I’m getting a mouthful of sweety goodness. No burn, not sure what to have expected from an 18 year old, for the price this is very delish.
