One of my first 18 yo. Great smell : Chocolate, Toffee, a bit of coffee, caramalized apples . Really love this smell.

Taste : Without water the taste was very ' flat ' for me, so I added some drops. After this : Honey, Sour green apple, some caramel. Bitter finish, very much the bitterness of a tonic.

A bit dissapointed in this one.

I almost liked the 12 better. It is "entry level" and maybe expectations are lower. Not having any 12 I once used this to introduce a niece to the world of single malts because of its anaemic ABV. But to an experienced palate I agree it's a little boring.

I have a litre of this stuff that my wife brought back from a trip, maybe I need to find a good home for it...

Thanks for the review. I think the 18 is pretty good, but like the 15 much more. Give the 15 a try if you haven't already.

Also, the 21 year old Archive is outstanding. Quite a jump in price from the 18, though.
