Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

One sniff of this aged Scotch showcases classic aromas of campfire smoke, lanolin, honey, and rich, stewed malts. Maturation provides beautifully rounded smoothness and nuanced flavors of toffee, stewed plums, and iodine before peat sings through the finish. A classic and complex whisky.
