Nose: OK, then. Sweet and slightly funky. White sugar. There is some development, but mainly layers upon layers of sweetness.
Taste: Rich and full bodied. Very spicy up front. A touch floral. Vanilla, mixed nuts, berries and assorted fruits.
Finish: Long and rich finish. Sweet with a bitterish and spicy edge. Cinnamon and vanilla in the end.
Comment: Another fine, old single grain whisky.
