Admittedly, I am new to scotch. This is only the second bottle that I’ve ever purchased. Body: light in color and body. The color is like white grape juice, though that’s where that analogy halts. Nose: heavy in grain and sweet like sugar and apples. There’s also a bit of an earth smell, like freshly plowed farm soil. Palate: Smokey chocolate and grain. There is a sweet flavor but it isn’t affronting. It’s a nice complement. Finish: it starts as a Granny Smith apple pie and ends in a nice, gentle smoke.
