Visual: In the glass it is a medium amber color/gold color. Medium, lasting legs after a swirl.
Nose: Floral, and a mite tart, with hints of vanilla and toffee, as well as lemon zest and orange peel. Light and crisp.
Palate: More citrus zest appears on the palate, along with some sweetness and vanilla. It is light and thin, which might be owing to many factors, including the mild 40% ABV, the lack of maturity (I’m guessing), and the lowland triple distillation process.
Finish: The finish is short, with a bittersweet dark chocolate note and some barrel char.
Empty glass: Little to report.
This is a smooth and drinkable whisky. A great beginner’s scotch, or scotch intro for bourbon drinkers. It lacks challenge and complexity, but is nice and inoffensive. It would be a 3-1/2 star dram at a higher price point. At less than $40 USD, I’m bumping it to 4 stars.
