Conclusion: a wonderful dram, I wish they would have made more. All the more reason to look for the other vintages they have been releasing. Good stuff.
More info: distilled in 1993, bottled in 2007 and sadly, this has been discontinued as a single vintage bottling and they are all out. If you find one of the remaining bottles, chances are prices have been doubled, or even tripled.
