In the Glass: Light gold, apple juice. On the Nose: Young. It definitely has some of that Bowmore maritime influence to it. Taste: The flavor follows the nose pretty closely, but the youth is even more apparent. There's a slight touch of citrus rind in the mix as well. It quite honestly almost has a synthetic note to it, even after its had a chance to open. There's a reason why Bowmore does 10's and 12's, and this whisky is a really good example as to why you'd be better off with those.
