The year on the bottle—2003—is not an age statement, but instead was the year this single-malt Scotch was laid down. A light-straw color, it has a bright, fresh aroma, with breezy notes of vanilla, hay, honey and pear. On the palate, it's astringent and overwhelmingly peppery, smoothed by a bit of honey on the finish. A splash of water tones down the peppery heat and brings more vanilla and honey sweetness forward.
