Nose: honeysuckle, pear, hints of apple, very faint scents of peat. Smells sweet like a bourbon. Palate: fruity and floral. Notes of apple and grapefruit. Some peat and earth, but not prominent. Mouthfeel is thin. Finish: Dry and lingering. Oak and grapefruit. Faint notes of grain. Overall: GOOD. Very similar to Glenlivet 12 with a thinner mouthfeel and more floral/fruity notes. An available and accessible choice for those looking for a good Japanese whisky.
