Nose: Sharp and pungent with herbs and floral grainy notes. Bit fruity in a stingy way. Taste: Has it turned smoother over the years or has my mouth started to get some numbness from all the whisky I've tasted? Watery and light but spices and vanilla are there, and some botanical notes. Finish: Bitter oak and burning spices. Very pointy rough finish. Balance: Feels like it's smoother, than what it used to be but still, a watery blended scotch whisky.
