NOTE: The first bottle of whisky I ever owned. Retasted after years. NOSE: Exquisitely fragrant. Cedar wood and incense. Earthy mushrooms and dry leaves. PALATE: Very sweet brown sugar and cinnamon goes great together. Mouthwatering cardamom finish. OVERALL: No wonder it scores consistently high. It was challenging as a beginner whisky, and even more rewarding as a connoisseur.
