Fantastic Dram. Although it is inferior for me, compared to my all time favorite Royal Salute, or Johnnie XR, this one disputes the third place with Hibiki Harmony. On the nose you get dried fruits, almonds maybe, oakyness and a lot of wood smoke. On the palate starts sweet like caramel but rapidly turns hot, very very hot and spicy, with a medium smoky finish which is awesome. Great experience
