Nose: fruit (raisins, grapes, apple), sherry, sweet, mild spice, malt, butter, vanilla Palate: thick, rich, sweet, alcohol heat, spicy, a little tart, oak Finish: long, spicy, oak. As the very long finish continues the spiciness goes away, the oak stays, and a little bit of sherry comes back. Overall very good. A rich,complex, and smooth scotch.
