How about this as a change of pace? I am not much of a scotch drinker, but this is no ordinary scotch. With a peppery-sweet nose, his Double-Gold winning(1) scotch fills your mouth with spices that range from ginger to cinnamon with a slight sweetness in the background that was like honey and extra-dark chocolate. The finish is rich and smoky and lingers on your tongue for what seems like forever (and that's not a bad thing at all). Every sip warms your bones like nothing I have ever encountered before. Tried "on the rocks" and "neat" and enjoyed both ways. Intense and wonderful.
My two friends and I shared the entire bottle in one evening.
