Comments: 

Nice bold and robust Speyside, lots of fruit and spice on the nose and tongue. It's paired with a hint of umami, something quite cheesy and slightly savoury. There are odd metallic notes here and there on the tongue and on the finish, which I gather some others describe as 'oily' or 'dusty'.

Verdict:

I like this.
