This whiskey looked like honey (or sunlight) swirling around my glass. The nose was full of medul dates, almonds, hot rubber garden hose, sherry notes, a touch of orange zest and wood smoke. The palate was very creamy, with something like sherry or brandy. The alcohol tickles the back of the tongue just before the finish begins. I also got ginger and bananas. The finish was smooth, warm, medium-bodied; not overpowering but not weak. Sweet, creamy notes linger on the back of the tongue.

Thanks LeFrog. This whiskey was a nice surprise; at $50 US and only 10 years old. I was struck by the combination of caramel and cream notes. Not as sugary and sweet as Macallan, more creamy than sweet. I thought it would make a nice summer drink.

I picked up a bottle of this whisky today, but it might be a while before I can get to it. It was recommended to me with basically these same tasting notes!

I just reviewed the bottle of 43% Edradour 10yr. I found it to be "candied orange peel & spice", not picking up a bit of smoke.

I'm with you Dr. B. At $50, this is one of my favorite bang for your bucks. Neat story as well being the smallest distillery in Scotland...only three people making all the malt:)
