I get honey, pear, and a hint of apple on the nose. Definitely no smoke like a few others said they got, of course this may vary year to year. On the palate it’s smooth and buttery with a hint of spice. The finish is fairly short with a bit of minerality and some astringency. All in all it’s not a bad dram, but not very complex. It’s smooth and quaffable. It would probably do best in mix drinks.
