My comments:
A special bottling for The King's Royal Hussars. I got 5 emails from friends the day this was released. Thanks guys for helping me find it! My score: ?? p

Tasting notes from whiskyfun: Official tasting notes:

NA NOSE: Fruit and nut cake with a rich influence of grape must and sweet oak. A little sprinkle of cocoa powder and subtle tea notes provide a savoury element.
COLOUR: Deep rich gold with a distinctive chestnut hue.
TASTE: Sweet oak and heather honey create a beautifully crafted whisky that develops well. Soft white summer fruits of peaches, pears and apricots mould well with rich dessert sherry and butterscotch. A soft yet vibrant BenRiach. Incredibly sweet and well-defined.
