The smell is amazingly fresh, apple, fig, sweetness like running in a fresh garden. Couldnt enjoy the taste when strait on hot day, too much alcoholic fumes and burning undefined tatse. With one ice cube, the burn turns down a bit but still looking for the sweetness I previously discovered with the nose. Taste slightly bitter, some peat is there when left on toung for longer time. It is nice, in between characte not defenitive, smells sweet but taste bitter and somewhat peaty, not too bitter though. The after taste is not that pleasent. I like glenfiddich, but this one is 😕
