The nose starts with fresh green apples and brings you to a usual Speyside sniff with honey, vanilla and sweet fruits. If you really dig into this one you might find some nuts and a faint smoke as well. When you take a sip you first experience sweet apricots. Then you get bourbon flavours with vanilla and a beehive full of honey. I personally find Sherry notes and rum raisins as well before a citrus influenced pleasant oaky finish stays for some time before your brains asks for another sip. This bottle really surprised me. It's a smooth and well balanced cheap Speysider. The perfect situation for this dram would be a warm summer night or if you are trying to convince a novice for single malt. I only give three stars as this dram has nothing that really shines in order to make it unforgettable.
