Nose is tangy with subtle sweetness. No peat and very unassuming. The first taste is Slightly peaty up front. Sea salt and candied pears with a sweet and tangy sort of fresh bread finish. Very light and smooth. Finish doesn't last long. Subsequent tastes will feel buttery on the front end. This is a very good drink. Offers something for everyone and would be a good introduction for someone who might have started their scotch obsession with Johnny Walker Black and might be looking for something a little more balanced and delicate.
