Nose: cherry, cinnamon, cloves Mouth: new oak, citrus Finish: dry vermouth Watery and lacks punch out depth of flavor. Would make a good Rob Roy

The nose is vanilla sweetness backed by an oat-y quality, like fresh-harvested grain. The palate has a touch of fruit, and even a gentle spice, but it’s mainly just full-bodied sweetness that drops almost immediately. There’s no long finish, or significant burn. Its almost refreshing. Really solid whisky for the middle-ground palates. Bourbon drinkers and Scotch drinkers should both enjoy this. Also a good amount of flavor compared to other lowland whiskies.
