Sweet and muddled while also somewhat watered down. It reminds me of Glenlivet 12 and Jameson. It's clearly better than Jameson and is comparable to Glenlivet. It has some mild cinnamon spice that is like a less good version of compass box mixed with some mild apple and possibly the faintest hint of orange. It isn't really creamy, but there is some coconut going on and the finish is not too bad. There is no pervasive, gross alcohol flavor, but there is a sense of weakness that gives it the impression of clean vodka (e.g. Chopin Wheat). Surprisingly, although there isn't enough interesting going on here to make this particularly enjoyable, it is a sippable drink. Compared to Glenmorangie The Original, there is less of an alcohol presence, but there is also a lot less flavor. I'd say that the Glenfiddich has a comparable amount of depth, but it is just so much weaker. Compared with Bastille 1789, It has less flavor, but its flavors make more sense. Bushmill's Black Bush is the obvious comparison though. The two have quite similar profiles in terms of general mellowness with some apple, orange, and coconut richness. The Bushmill's has more of a kick to it, but that really just means that the alcohol is stronger. The Glenfiddich is more rounded and is overall a better drink. Compared to the Glenfiddich 14 Bourbon Barrel of course this stands no chance.
