Tastes

Nose is orange and lemon. light alcohol, but in a way that you would let a non drinker smell... But it's not super interesting. Just kinda hangs in the bottom of the glass. Taste grew and grew on me. maybe even deserves more stars. It taste of summer. summer in the evening when it's light out and dusk is creeping close. Orange, wheat...its the blue moon of scotch. Feel like it has a role to play in a collection, but it's also hard to get excited about. It's... good. It's an entry level but with a distinct personality that sets it apart.

yummy nose. lots of fruit and classic scotch smells. round and forward. taste is fine. It's a less summery Glenmorangie. Totally inoffensive, tasty... But also boring. and tasty in a... this is a mild fruityish scotch way, not in a way that is particularly unique or plays certain flavors forward. so... It's boring. I like it, but would never buy it. Glenmorangie is the same idea with a better summery context

Cola flavor...peppery on the finish. Lovely nose- crisp fruit and leaves. Water blots out sweet flavor and leaves strong pepper notes. almost a sandalwood quality to it... a bit of funky burned wood. I like it, but my palette is not there yet. it's interesting... different flavors each time I go in. has that vague vomity thing on the finish... back of the tongue is where I need the most development. spicy finish, a bit one note, but I like it.

Aggresively smoky. Smooth. complex. overall, the smoke took over and it felt very forward with that profile.

Indistinct in some ways... kind of a muddled flavor. Perhaps more of an alcohol punch than i prefer. it has that strong flavor on the finish that first freaked me out about scotch. But it's also interesting... I feel like I haven't really figured it out completely. I'd like to save some from this bottle and revisit it when my palette improves. after having it again... it's malty. to me that's a kind of boring but mildly offensive carpety sick taste. it's interesting that I'm not detecting any fruity flavors in substantive ways... that probably means my palette is way underdeveloped.

Cheap, so happy for the experience to price ratio. It's very much like licking a raw oak barrel. Faint sweetness, strong alcohol on the approach. But very barrelly.

First dip in the pond. Remember a delicate honey sweetness. Crowd pleaser. Enjoyed with water.
