On the countdown of my last remaining samples (I believe a kind benefactor in the form of one PBM will be remedying my sample scarcity plight god and customs willing)...no 4. Damn fine whisky. Very rich spicey sherried nose. Brilliant flavouring. Spice, spice and more spice from the European oak. Rich cinnamon chocolate prune and cherry and an aftertaste which lingers for eternity. Now the one fault is it's very slightly thin of body..water rather than oil based if that makes sense however the overall taste and that never ending aftertaste move it from a 4.25 to a 4.5 then by the end 4.5 to 4.75 territory. The average rating here and on whiskey base is the highest I've ever seen (for a large number of reviews). Not sure it's nirvana but it's a brilliant whisky with perfect balance and amazing flavour. I'm sure I saw it round the $250USD mark once here but now not around in NZ and overseas its closer to the $350USD mark. If you have that money to spend on whisky buy with confidence...I reckon with more time open and a number more samplings it may have had a chance of creeping slightly higher score wise into the very rare solid 4.75 territory. With a bit of water and 45 mins it really went up a notch. I had a single cask Glendronach post which I thought would best it but nope I was still pining for this one!
