I realise that this a well reviewed Whisky, but I hope to add fresh insight. I am 21 years old and this was the first whisky I have purchased with the full intent of enjoying it.
This has opened my eyes so to speak to the complexities of good whisky. The Nose: Citrus, with a lingering smokiness. Others have differentiated between the smell of biscuits and the smokiness. I say specifically, that it reminds me of caramellised bicuits, sweet but with a smoky afterthought.
Palate:I found it creamy , yet sweet and smoky, with floral hints, also an undertone of rich caramel.
Finish: Long lasting! Warm, lingering creaminess, with a slow dying smokiness and a sweetness that lingers well beyond the other flavours.
This has really encouraged me to expand my horizons. I realise that i may not compare to some of the whiskys preferred by older readers, but to me, this is a special one.

I also think Jura Superstition is special, as is the bottle ... but make sure you position the ank in the palm of your hand while pouring. A good drink for the Soltice !
