Comments: 

Cask 4112. I've never had a Mackillop's Choice until now, and I have to say that it did not disappoint. It was sweet, a little waxy, and very spicy. Lots of lingering spice notes, and a little hook of citrus at the end, just teasing, on the tongue. Very nice whisky indeed.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
