Nose: moderately peaty, light amount of seawater, orange bitters, honey Palate: figs, sweet caramel, dried apricot, walnuts Finish: oak tannins, peat, allspice. The only part of the finish that seems to last at all is a peppery peat flavor which becomes slightly unpleasant as all of the sweetness and oakiness fades immediately. Value: B+, to me this is pretty good for its price range. It’s a bit watered down and the nose and finish aren’t too complex, but for only $40 you can’t expect much more. I had to try this again as I tried blue label a few days ago and want the memory of tasting it fresh. After having this I can say without a doubt that blue label is a GOOD scotch, but there is no way that it should cost the $245 that it does. I’m more curious about green label now.
