"Unusual aroma for a wine-finished whisky: here we are getting distinct ye olde oake signs that are leaning towards the exotic fruitiness of old bourbon casks. Salivating and on the money malt-wise with the juicy chewiness appearing a lot fresher than the nose would have you believe. Busy, multi-layered with some lovely praline amid the soft grape. Beautiful, subtle malt. But the fruit element has been reduced considerably, as if the original Port pipes are being used a second or third time around." -Jim Murray, "Whisky Bible" 89 points
