Comments:

Interesting Speyside. There's a lot going on in the whisky, but I can't help thinking that the flagship official bottling is under strength. I like the coffee notes in the mouth (as well as the metal polish... what does that say about my palate?), they go quite well with the fruit.

Verdict:

I like this.
