Undoubtedly a great quality bottle, however may be too much balanced. A great sweetness, slightly honeyish is the first nose impression.
The palate has the same impression, but the honey gets more spicy, pleasant.
A average finish crowns the whole and the feeling of having drunken a good whisky stays for minutes. Also a very good price-quality ratio.

A sweet nose, with very pleasant hints of hazelnuts and ripe fruits, an a bit later on spicy ones (sweet pepper).
In the palate, the same impressions, a great sweetness without any aggressiveness, with a quite nice hazelnut taste on the background and a subtle complexity, varying from very slight acid notes to some delicious sweet hints.
The finish is rather short but quite pleasant too.
