I was unsure of trying this whisky as reviews and comments were all over the spectrum. What finally sold it for me was a negative review here that compared it to anCnoc 12 which the reviewer does not care for,but, which I consider to be one of the greats. The pour of the non chill-filtered dram is the palest straw gold. The nose is fresh orchard fruits with a hint of floral honey. On the tongue the fruit flavors of apple, pear, and peach interplay with a touch of sweetness. The finish brings honey malt forward with the faintest hint of peat--so faint that I couldn't detect it until my third sip. This may not be for everyone, but it is a style I really enjoy. If you are a fan of anCnoc 12 or Compass Box Artist Blend I think you would enjoy this dram.
