With its dark gold colour and peaty fragrance this is a whisky suitable for every occasion, for dark winter evenings as well as festive occasions.
It's rich, it's deep, it's warm, has a full body and leaves a pleasantly long finish.
It never fails.

Pedro Ximenez cask finish
I remember it had a more medicinal taste and was less round. Apart from that I can't find my notes anymore, so I'll leave it to those who do remember.
