NOSE – Honey, hint of Vanilla, Briny like the ocean air BODY – white pepper, barley, briny, red licorice, hay, velvety FINISH – long, honey, light smoke at the very end OVERALL – A consistent product throughout! It's not the most complex scotch (this does't mean it's simple, however), but it does what it sets out to do very well. The nose could be the definition of what to expect in a "classic" scotch. Absolutely wonderful! It made me want to keep coming back for another glass.
