Nose: heavy honey, apple, pear, peaches, faint malt and grape jam notes. Very light hint of pepper. Taste: malt, apple, pear. Slight vanilla cream note that immediately collapses into condensed grape jam. Heavy sweet honey finish with a bit of oak spice. It is better than Glenlivet 12 from my memory. A lot more dense flavor. But tbh it’s probably not worth the price at $50. 40 is probably a better price point. Loses some points because it’s supposed to be a step up from the standard, maybe for more developed palettes and it fails in that job
