The nose has honey, beeswax, flowers, and dried fruit. The palate has the sweet dried fruits I expected from the nose, but is balanced nicely with a little bit a smoke. A few spices join in during as the main flavors start to fade for a medium length finish. Nothing too complex here, but nothing unpleasant either. This whisky has a nice balance to it. I'm not sure it's worth the premium over Chivas 12, but I certainly wouldn't turn down a glass.
