Ive had the virgin oak and like it a lot. This is supposed to be significantly better so was happy to purchase on sale for $46. Non-chill filtered and 92.6 pf. Poured neat, thick sticky glasscoat. Nose is cinnamon apple, buttered corn muffins, honey and heavy malt. No smoke or peat just pure scotch. Creamy mouthfeel leads to palate of dense honey malt, melted butter, more apple and cinnamon stick with some balancing oak. Finish is drying wood with mild char and fading buttery malt. Not complex but flavors are deep and rich with sit on your tongue smoothness of a 15-18 yr vintage. I can see why this won so many medals. Its near perfect execution of an unpeated straight forward malt............93/100..........absolutely delicious, definite repurchase......To me this is what you should see if you look up pure scotch whisky in a virtual dictionary, the rest are variants with fruit, peat , etc...... On the box its says " a gift from the gods" I concur, This is buttery malt bliss!!
