There is a lot of richness and some nice balance here. The flavor is smooth, though there is a bit more cherry than I would like. The fullness and balance are there, but I wish the flavor developed more. As it stands, this is good, but not a showstopper. It reminds me of Glengoyne 15, but it's a bit smoother. The richness makes this quite good, but maybe not at the level that necessitates always having one on hand.
