Nose: Peat, butter, raisins, cream, sherry (Pedro Ximenez).

Comments:

One of Diageo's Distiller's Editions, finished in Montilla Fino casks. The sherry influence makes it a lot sweeter and probably a lot thicker as well. A whisky for thinking and playing around with (in the mouth). The finish is quite unlike the nose, but it's an interesting change from the chewy sweetness at the beginning.

Verdict:

I like this.
