one of the best Highlands I've ever tasted. the nose is vanilla, toffee, and peach. draws you in right away. tastes like melted vanilla ice cream, raisins, and pudding. a puff of smoke keeps you balanced. bites just enough at the end. well balanced, deep, rich, finish. I'd buy a bottle of this again to keep around for special occasions, or a nightly sipper in the rotation.
