Nose - pear, vanilla, caramel, a nuttiness that wasn’t present in the 12 year, light-moderate ethanol burn. Taste - honey, caramel, mellow grape, nut (maybe walnut), corn, plum, hint of milk chocolate, light oak, finishing with sweet chocolate and caramel flavors. This is much more enjoyable than the 12 year. One of the better Speysides I’ve tasted.
