Nose: Smokey, maybe floral notes Taste: Much more complex than I have anticipated. No burn or bite. First it is smokey, peaty then it is spicy, maybe even a bit floral and goes to sweet. Delicious. Finish: Medium finish, a little bit sweet and floral again. Summary: A superb blended scotch, especially for the price I guess. It is very tasty and takes you for a ride. I would only drink this neat, it would be a sin to mix it. Buy the Red one for that.
