Aged: 17 years, bourbon/sherry marriage
Colour: tropical sunset
Strength: 46%
Best for: middle of the road moments
Nose: very vanilla, citrus, lemons and oranges, apple, more subtle than the 12
Taste: salty tang around the edges still there, honeydew melon and stewed apples with a hint of vanilla. Slightly harsh next to 12 and 21 though
Verdict: not bad, but not great. 12 or 21 much better bets
