Nose: 4* Candy red apples, plums, honey. Palate: 3,5* Smooth, little coating, dark chocolate, hazelnuts, slightly fruity. lichee Finish: 3,75* Medium long, light pepper, intense oak, walnuts, pure chocolate, dry honey lingers. Best neat. Very accessible and quite smooth, not as complex as most other whiskies of this age, but the price justifies this.
