Nose : sweet malt, candied fruit (think the kind you would put in a fruitcake), a bit of barrel wood. Palate : lots of malted notes, some oak, some honey, noticeable but not overwhelming smoke. The oloroso influence is not very apparent in my opinion, it's more present on the nose. Finish : short to medium, tangy, a bit astringent, some more smoke. This is a very fair whisky; not necessarily my dram of choice per se but still enjoyable, and it doesn't have a lot of challengers at that price point. Stock it for everyday use, as a kind of "working horse" scotch for those times when you need something nice but don't want to break the bank.
