N: Cakey but then overwhelmingly solventy, not a glamorous nose.
P: Light and fruity but balanced with a dry green tea like spice...
F: ...that carries into the finish.

The nose is gaseous (almost farty), with caramel.  The palate --  this is interesting! Lots of earthy and mineral stuff.  Definitely some spices of cinnamon and clove.  I mean really, really interesting.  Long finish.  Weird, but good!  A-/B+

The nose is a light sweet sherry.  Like candy. My first taste of this was great -- very sweet, but light.  Dufftown seems to be a good aperitif malt.  It has a delicacy to it that other whiskies and flavors can mask easily.  Honey flavors come through with the sherry, still light and delicate.  Not a bad whisky -- would be good to introduce someone to single malt.  Very approachable, girl-next-door quality.

Pretty tasty.  Velvety, peppery, nicely sherried

Nose of cocoa and phenol, which come through on the palate as well, together with some spice/fruit/pepper. Oily finish.
