Amber-gold. Complex and delicate aromas: Dried orange, vanilla, wood (lemon oiled oak?), christmas spice, banana and some peaty smoke. Luscious, warm, velvety mouthfeel with perfectly balanced spice, sweetness and woodiness. Endless finish.

I have a couple big bottles of this in my Scotch collection (yay duty free!) and it's certainly one of my never-miss, go-to drams. But as good as this is, it's really quite over-priced here in Canada, and it seems to get more and more expensive every year. I'm glad I stocked up. Beautiful blue bottle and satin-lined box.
