Found this at Costco a couple months ago. $28.99 for a cask strength, 12 year old, single malt scotch. Too good of a deal to pass up.
Initially I get Dole fruit cocktail syrup on the nose, after a few minutes it morphs into salty caramel apple and some apricot type notes. The palate is initially salty with stone fruits, but the heat overwhelms my taste buds very quickly. There's a short sour note on the lengthy, spicy finish.
A splash of water mutes the heat on the palate and brings forth some caramel, it also seems to eliminate the sour note on the finish.

@geologyjane oh yeah, that sounds great. I haven't seen that in my area though.
@jdriip - nice review and great price! Sadly the Costco’s near me never got this. As an aside, if you are into peat, I did find a Laphroaig 12 Cask Strength (vintage 2005, also from Alexander Murray) tonight at Costco that I’ve seen elsewhere for $100-$120+. Costco normally has it listed at $79.99 but is currently offering it for $49.99. At that price, I had to bite. Haven’t popped it open yet but the reviews I’ve seen seem promising. Something to keep your eyes out for?
