The gold standard as far as I’m concerned, for 12 year old single malts. The nose is a classic sherried Speyside malt. The nose starts with dried fruit and nuts. With time and air it develops fruitcake and oak notes as well. Moving on to tasting, the flavors that come through on the nose continue to develop and are joined by figs and stuffed dates. It's all rich, spiced, dried and baked fruit. That's backed up by vanilla, honey, gingerbread, and molasses. The mouthfeel is thick and oily. Everything is here in balance. It's sweet but not sugary, oily but not cloying. It's all I could ask for in a single malt.
