Comment:
For the price this is great and it is more complex than a lot of single malt whisky.
To me this is one of the best blended whisky I have tried, it is stunning.
I like how the taste starts out with the spices side of it, a bit nutty and feels a bit oily on the tongue and in the mouth, but then starts to get some chocolate and coffee notes out of that oily feel. Then changes and gets some notes of dried fruit that goes over to the finish with slight hints of vanilla, spices and nuts that combine with the dried fruit.
This is just what I get out of it. I love it!
