Nose is light but nice! Fruit and honey. Taste is tight and integrated like no normal Johnnie blend. This has some real class about it. Its oily and made with nice wood. This dram is just on the sweet side but not a desert dram as it has a touch of smoke and dare I say peat. There is also a citrus note that makes this beautifully layered. I personally prefer Green label but this is top stuff....but price is too high especially when you compare to Green. 4 stars or 93
