Maroon Label Nose: Red delicious apples, vanilla, light honey, graham crackers, a little potpourri and a little non-sweet strawberries. Palate: Vanilla, light honey and red delicious apples are at the front. Then, you get some graininess with graham crackers and light coconut. The strawberries come out a little with a touch of water. Mouthfeel: Medium, with some oiliness. Finish: Spicy with cardamom, cinnamon, Szechuan peppercorns, oak tannins, orange pith/bitters. A touch of potpourri. A little bourbon-like cherry. Overall: Very nice lighter scotch with very good balance and overall construction. Lacks the wow factor to score higher, but this is still a very good creamy/fruity whisky.
