Warm honey/gold color. The sweet, fruity nose leans to smoky peat more so than any other major production blend. A meaty, fleshy, substantial whisky that’s semisweet on palate and ends with a ripe fruit, sweet oak, and mildly peaty aftertaste that leaves a comforting imprint of warmth. One of Scotch whisky’s greatest all-around values. Best Buy.(Wine Enthusiast)
