Probably not as smokey or peaty as I like my whiskey, but this is smooth, flavorful and sweet/fruity. None of that salty/briny. But some floral and vanilla is hiding in there. Don't drink this with ice, you'll miss the experience. Later notes, this is a personal favorite because of some of the great moments celebrated by a splash of this. Weddings, jobs and babies, this has highlighted some great moments. Tastes floral, sweet honey, vanilla and malt.
