Epitome smelled more expressive than I expected. It opened with malted sweetness, then moved into gentle spice without losing balance. Easy recommendation for someone who enjoys this style.

I paid more attention to the finish on this whisky. There was enough light smoke to keep me interested, even though it stayed sharp even after resting. A solid four rather than a five.
fruity - warm - spicedHad Epitome with roasted nuts. I could appreciate the malted sweetness, though it stayed sharp even after resting. Fine for a casual serve, less convincing on its own.
