Excellent. Tasted meat in a Taylor'd milestones glass (big glencairn). Sweet leather and vanilla on the nose. Not too much spice and a decent, but not bad alcohol burn. In the palate it feels thick & buttery. Vanilla and leather upfront with a lot of pepper on the back. I swear I taste toffee, though, it's not in the expert notes. Maybe it's the butter mixed with vanilla..... Worth the price
