What a wonderful dram and value to boot! An absolute gem of a mass produced blended scotch whisky. Nose: Very subdued with mild hints of orange blossom honey and caramel. Just the faintest whiff of smoke. Palate: Light, crisp, clean apples and pears. Typical Speyside sweetness is present without being cloying due to a mildly bitter chocolate astringency from the casks oak tannins. Earthy peat is present but in the shyest capacity. Finish: There seems to be no end in sight to this finish. A delicious assimilation of sweet tropical flavors combined with caramel and sherry lingers on the palate for minutes!
