Very fruity to the nose - fresh apples, fig, apricot, some spirit notes among them. It feels very young even to the nose straight from the beginning.
Same - apples, spirit, some barley, a bit bitter to the tongue.
Some cocoa to the palate?
Very oily, mouthfilling and mouth-feeling. Just as sweet as it needs to be - some toffee and apricot.
What is to mark that it is very-very easy to drink. It has 40% abv which feels like 35%. Very gentle, but really lacks of complexity and diversity.
Definitely not “a piss in the bottle” as some comments say but a solid three-point whiskey.
(It can also be regarded to Balblair 05 by the taste but much much simpler one).
Finish is not remarkable but pleasant.
To sum up - very simple and gentle, really easy to drink, but I liked it. Maybe because it is really underrated?
