January 23, 2020 (edited June 1, 2020)
Nose - Sweet fruity smoke, vanilla, black peppercorns, light fruity apple juice-like sweet
Taste - Very light sweetness, fairly thin, gentle vanilla & grainy sweet, light filtered apple juice sweet, light smoke on the back end
Finish - Light oaky fruit, vanilla, grain sweet, vaery light sweet smoke, black pepper
Score - 72/100
Final Thoughts - Fairly simple blended malt, sadly not as put together as the standard Green. I think that since this is targeted as a travel retail only, it's meant to be fairly simple & pleasing to the masses. Sadly, this makes it quite boring, but very inoffensive. It can be sipped neat or mixed into a highball quite easily, but it's definitely something you're sipping on when you just want to have a drink in your hand.
