Cereal, honey, butterscotch and vanilla nose with a fruity, floral aroma all greet the nose. Arrives on the palate, creamy, with orange peel, tea, honey and vanilla notes. Flavors fade leaving the palate with orange zest, a small amount white pepper and burn (43% ABV). Leaves a slightly bitter palate on the finish. As it opens in the glass, it becomes sweeter and a bit softer. A bit of water opens the floral notes and tames the burn. This is a one to keep around for sharing. Young (of course), simple and bright. A good scotch at even a better price. [$29][84/100][Opened: 8/1/2014][Revisited: 5/21/15;12/23/15]

An excellent value malt. I can purchase it locally for $25.
This seems like a pretty good value--- do you mind if I ask how much it was for?
On Fire Island and this what I brought for the week. With a cigar, the bite is gone but the sweetness and honey notes pop. Not bad.

Haven't had this one yet but what you're saying makes me think I need to check it out.
Currently sitting on a deck chair on Fire Island sipping Speyburn. Thinking what a nice easy sipping scotch. Not overly complex and enjoyable.
