I was recently given a bottle of this that was opened I suspect a number of years ago but there is still about 90% remaining. I'm not one to turn down free whisky so I was a happy recipient nonetheless and looking forward to tasting. Nose: Honey, brown sugar, and some tropical fruit. I don't know much about papaya but for some reason I get papaya here... Palate: Relatively light but smooth and sweet. Honey and some baking spices initially. Some green apple emerges toward the end as well as some orange zest. Finish: Medium with the green apple lingering on the back of the palate. Some nice bitterness lingers there as well even after the tingling on the palate and sides of the tongue fade. Overall, of course a very good whisky. However, given the hype I was expecting a flavour explosion and I certainly wouldn't spend the secondary market price (or even the primary market price necessarily). Although I'm very happy to have a bottle and will enjoy it!
