The nose is rich with a nice balance of Sherry and old socks. There's a bit of something floral and mineral coming through. The palate has some Sherry fruit, but less than expected. The mouthfeel is moderate with some slightly watery elements. There's a bit of citrus harshness they belies the youth and bleeds into the general niceness, but there's still some nice malt and grassiness - a bit like miss with some wet cardboard flavor. It's good for a 12, but it's a bit off-kilter with its flavor. It's certainly better than Glenfarclas 12 though. For the price, it's a pretty good choice, comparing favorably with Glenmorangie 10. Glen Moray port would probabaly be my personal go-to, but this might be a hair less risky.
