Nose is orange and lemon. light alcohol, but in a way that you would let a non drinker smell... But it's not super interesting. Just kinda hangs in the bottom of the glass. Taste grew and grew on me. maybe even deserves more stars. It taste of summer. summer in the evening when it's light out and dusk is creeping close. Orange, wheat...its the blue moon of scotch. Feel like it has a role to play in a collection, but it's also hard to get excited about. It's... good. It's an entry level but with a distinct personality that sets it apart.
