It has amber gold color with ruby highlights. Good sherried body with fruity aromas.
"Light oily feel to the malt. Medium-weight mouth feel (for a scotch). Peat seems to settle on the midline across the tongue,followed by Oloroso sherry and nuts, a touch of pepper, then malt and heather. Finish is dry, long, and toasty. " Spirits Review
Rich and complex, suggestive of years of careful ageing, it has a honeyed maltiness with vanilla oak flavours, and hints of spicy peat notes. It has a long and complex finish with a touch of liquorice.
"An aromatic yellow fruit perfume leaps from the glass; aeration adds subtle hints of citrus zest and tobacco leaf. The medium-bodied, creamy palate entry is succulent and woody sweet; at midpalate the flavor turns buttery rich, intensely oaky and moderately maple-like. Ends in a gently sweet, grainy, and appealingly fruity manner. Score range: 90-95 points. Score: 95. " Wine Enthusiast
