When I initially tasted this I thought it was a bit like the Balvenie 12yo Doublewood but subsequent visits have dampened that impression. It has a fruity (pear) aroma and the palate is also fruity but mild, with a sharper (but not overlong) aftertaste.
A 3 to 3.5 stars is what I'd pitch it and, once finished, not one I'd return to.

@AntonioSchmid yes, it's a nice one for sure. Maybe I'm hard on it by comparing it to one of my favourites.
I only tasted it once but had the same initial impression about the similarity with the Balvenie Doublewood 12. I liked it more than I think I would.
