A lusciously smoky and tobacco-like initial aroma; after aeration the bouquet features semisweet to sweet notes of honey, pipe tobacco, Sherry, honey, and dark chocolate. The palate entry is smooth and caramel sweet; at midpalate the smokiness comes alive with additional tastes of sweet butter, toffee and honey. Finishes in a rush of smoke, charcoal and ash. A malt whisky gem and an incredible bargain. Best Buy. P.P.
