Nose: Nice malt with strong vanilla. Hints of salt and fresh sea air on the back. Taste: Nicely warm and malty with notes ofcinnamon. Hints of peat. Finish: Robust, bit spicy and a bit blendy, but hints of smoke and roasted malt manage to hide the blended feel. Balance: For a blended whisky, good stuff! In overall – decent whisky. The usual watery finish of blended whiskys is very minimal in this case.
