Cellar/Tasting Notes
Aged 12 years in sherry casks, this fine scotch has rich flavors of vanilla, toffee and a hint of hazelnut. A true classic. Wine Enthusiast (WE): 90-95 "The initial aroma is sweetish, winey and oaky; aeration allows the aroma to expand to include marzipan, treacle, molasses, honey, vanilla bean, cinnamon and cocoa butter. The palate entry is sweet, creamy and assertive; at midpalate the flavor becomes intensely nutty, buttery and bacon fat-like, with the beginnings of rancio. Remains one of Speyside's standard-bearer 12 year olds. - P.P. (4/1/2008) - Superb/Highly Recommended" |
