Non chill-filtered 48% abv Color added Nose: deep and rich, with dark fruit dominating. Also vanilla, honey, some spice including cinnamon and clove Taste: thick and viscous. Sweet barely sugar and heather on the arrival, which quickly develops into syrupy dark fruits, chocolate, vanilla, toffee/crepe brûlée, maple, light molasses. Finish: long. Dark coffee and dark chocolate. Fruit notes like raisin, apricot and plum. A hint of oak and nuttiness note lingers at the end. Value: $50-60 bucks USD. Worth it. Final thoughts: if you didn’t know it, you’d think this was a 15 or even 18 year old. It’s intense, sweet, creamy and freaking delicious. A near perfect dram for after a meal, this is one of the best 12 year old single malts money can buy. Score: 4/5 highly recommend buying a bottle.
