Very light for a scotch. I think that this is a super drinkable choice or a good whisky mixer. Its got a tougher nose that smells of bitter and smokey wood. The body is light and smooth. It has a fraction of the notes felt on the nose; and finishes with a fruity aftertaste. Its not bad at all, has no negative qualities- but this is not a show stopper. For an intro to scotch- this is it.
