I'll add more details to the review as I am sure this whisky will reveal some other characteristics over time. But for now..I've tasted it 3 times and here's what I think of it:

SMELL: the initial smell is thick, dense caramel, then come hints of toffee, coffee and menthol. With a drop of water it mellows down and the caramel gets even more prominent. There are also aromas of milk chocolate, latte, Crème brûlée, orange zest, rich strawberry marmalade!

TASTE: starts off dry, exploding into nutty cake-like sherry sweetness which eventually subsides leaving behind some sour cherry notes, cola;

FINISH: long and comforting; there is something in there that reminds me of Lindt dark chocolate with chili;

CONCLUSION: WoW!! Maybe I am not spoiled enough to judge, but for me - this whisky is THE BEST sherried whisky I have tried so far. Taking into consideration that it is not chill-filtered and natural color ...WOW! Unique!

There is a reason why Ralfy picked this as "whisky of the year 2012" in review #329. I like their 12yo double cask. I haven't had the chance to try it,but I assume that this has to be way more decadent than the 12. Can't way to try it. Cheers!

The mentions of menthol and chili are intriguing. It sounds like this offers more than your typical sherried sweetie. I'm interested.

vrudy6 - the 12 yr Glendronach Original reminds me alot of the 12 yr Aberlour Non-Chill Filter...And that's a good thing!

I've never had the Ab12 non-chill. It's hard for me to spend 60+ dollars on a 12, when I can buy an older statement for same or a little more. But, if its a a bar I'll definitely will give it s shot. Thanks @fmichael .

Tasted blind this regularly gets more praise & points than the 5x as pricey Macallan 18 at my home tasting sessions...

I consider it the best value Scotch of the last decade.
