I tasted this as part of a flight that included a variety from around the world, ordered from light to intense as follows: 1. Knappogue Castle 12 2. Glendronach 12 3. Yamazaki 12 4. Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon 5. Rittenhouse Rye 6. Highland Park 12 The instructions were to mix and match in tasting, but to leave the highly peated Scotch (#6) for last so it didn’t overwhelm the others. I found the entire flight to be extremely pleasing. This particular whisky in comparison to the others emanated light sweet floral notes and a mere whiff of sea salt on the nose, honey through the palate and a slight smoke through the short to medium finish.
