Smells like fruit, pears and vanilla extract. Tastes like rubbing alcohol with some oily sweetness like a white wine in there on the finish. It’s very clean for a whiskey without many of the tastes I usually get. Second sip I get orange zest and some weird dark chocolates. Not bad. Smells better than it tastes and it was a gift so I don’t know what it cost, can’t me much it came with two branded glasses.
