I did discover that it is barrel strength, so pretty hot, and being a light speyside that kills some of the delicacy you should be getting through the age and sherry. Just a weird choice to have heavy alcohol. I'll probably end up passing on this years expression.
Empress gin is very good. I thought that it would be a marketing thing with the purple turning to pink in soda/gin, but the flavour actually stands up.

I wonder if this could this be a hint? Flavor profile wise, it sounds similar.

Hmm there's this one as well that others were guessing. Many others have guessed Benrinnes as the one sold in Costco.
