Reviewed

Nose - Watered down honey, faint golden raisins, apple/pear cider.
Taste - Very light, floral watered down honey, lightly bitter oaked pear cider made with cores and peels.
Finish - Sweet lingers a bit along with a fruity bitterness that fades pretty quickly leaving a lightly sweet/sour pear cider effervescent tingle on the tongue.
Score - 72/100
Final Thoughts - Everything about this Scotch is very light and subtle. It's non offensive and honestly quite boring. Reminds me of eating fresh green apples and pears lightly drizzled with honey on a spring day. Nothing too complex but refreshing. This is best sipped neat or mixed into a lighter Scotch cocktail like an old fashioned sweetened with honey simple and maybe just orange or lavender bitters instead of angostura.
