Comments:

8 years old. Tasty, with lots of sweet fruit and slight hints of smoke and peat. There's quite a lot of malt in this, with the soft rounded vanilla-flavoured grain not really in evidence. The finish is very short and light, not bitter at all as I expected. A pleasant dram, although slightly lacking in complexity. Relaxing whisky.

Verdict:

I like this.
