Surprisingly good - I thoroughly enjoyed this whisky. Fruity on the nose (probably the highlight) with notes of apricot (allegedly it's banana), honey and vanilla. The palate is something that strongly resembles a classic Speyside - very floral. The finish is short with some oak lingering on the tongue. Not flawless, and quite immature, but I'm glad I bought this one. Plus I gots to represent my peeps in Italy. Cheers!
