Nose: sweet, light peat, astringent (grain whiskey), a little bit of spice, Brown sugar, malt Palate: light peat is the main flavor. A little bit of sweetness, malt and spice. Finish: medium length. Spicy, light peat, and a little bit of sweetness. Overall a very good blended scotch. On par with the standard Johnnie Walker Black in quality with maybe a little more going on as far as complexity. "
