Review:

I've been wanting to try this bottle for some time now, and finally decided to splurge a bit.

The nose is light smoke/peat, with orange toffee. Very pleasant.

Palate: Light but oh-so-tasty. Nice sherry flavor that's not overwhelming. Also fruity, although I could not pinpoint a specific fruit.

Finish: Awesome. Mouth-coating, lingering finish. Light orange and smoke. Really smooth. I was underwhelmed at first but I wanted to drink more and more. Balanced was the first word that came to mind.
