Lemon, honey, raisin, maybe red apple, vanilla. If there's peat here, it successfully evades my ability to detect it. There's a little graininess, but not offensive. The higher proof seems to bring a fullness of flavor, which I especially appreciate. I think the flavor of the Green is better, but I'm a sucker for higher proof, so they're about even in my book. This is a great bargain at the $45 I bought it for. I'd say it's probably good up to about $60, which is about what Green seems to go for around here.
