Opens on the nose to orange and nutmeg with toffee sweetness on the periphery. Creamy texture which delivers brown sugar and spice. Burn is extremely late to the party but hangs around for some time. As the burn makes it's exit, orange peel stays on the palate. This orange finish is slightly bitter but not unpleasant. Overall, a pleasant dram. Somewhat complex and much more balanced than the 12 year sibling. For an 18 year old, the cost makes this accessible, which is a good thing. Wish the other mature malts were relatively more affordable. [$89]
