"Yellow golden color. Lightly floral and grassy, butter pecan ice cream, toffee, and toasted oak aromas. A brisk soft entry leads to a mild, slightly sweet light-to medium-bodied palate with vanilla nut fudge, brown spice, and exotic peppercorn flavors. Finishes with a rich perfumed fade of toffee and wood spice. Distinctive and dangerously drinkable."

"The wonderful bouquet includes scents of bacon fat, honey, orange rind with deeper smells of black pepper, cinnamon, vanilla bean and pipe tobacco. Entry is silky smooth, semisweet, concentrated and honeyed; the midpalate offers grainy sweet, yet spicy, tangy, fruity, nutty and floral tastes. The oak element really emerges in the aftertaste, ideally completing this sensational blended Scotch. One of the finest blended Scotches in the world." 96-100 pts.

"This amber blend of 15 whiskies, each aged at least 18 years, yields a mellow, balanced mix of sweet caramel, raisin and smoky notes, all lingering and pleasing. Serve chilled, possibly as a dessert pairing."
