The nose is really good, fruity, buttery, and a whisp of smoke. On the Palate is same flavours as the nose but also is really rich for a blend and has a nice sherry taste to it. But this is where it shows that this is a blend, can taste some grain but not in a gross way. Its matured quite well with only a slight tint of bitternes. Its also quite smooth. It's a bit spicey but the good thing is its not extremely grainy which is nice. Spicey fruity, a tiny bit of smoke finish, and it's quite short. For the price I would say this is on par with johnnie walker black label. Tastes like the white label but a bit smoother and less rough around the edges and more intense. 3.5 out of 5, I paid $35 CAD for this any wouldn't pay over $40
