sweet fruits. citrus. oranges and tangerines. I get some very distinct vanilla on the nose but no so much on the palate. strong typical nail polish remover smell almost overburdens the other smells. very sweet the moment it touches your tongue. a treat for the right price. I was blessed to find the 10 year for 12 a pour while staying in vegas. absolute treat for that. the bottle was on sale for 300 but i had to pass. grabbed a macallan 18 for 10 dollars as well. very reasonably priced pours at treasure island resort.
