A bit of smoke, sweetness and some spice. Quite smooth and overall balanced. Nice but short aftertaste. A good safe bet for an enjoyable drink. I used to like this one much more when I was not much of a whisky drinker, but I still think it's quite good. The main problem for me is its price where I live; there are many other whiskys at a similar or even lower price points that are more enjoyable for me. A classic to try for sure. Great served neat or on ice.
