Mild with some sour and bitter notes to give it life. A little woody and not at all smoky. Has a sweet, slightly floral finish that is nice and gives it sone variety. Still, it tastes a bit watered down and has enough off notes that I can't recommend it. It's pretty alcoholic and generic. There's some fruitiness and plenty of floralness, but bitterness stands in front of it waving its arms. There is no smokiness to be found, but it's plenty sweet. Digging into it, there are apples, cinnamon spiciness, some honey, and some bland cereal. The complexity is not absent, but that disgusting bitterness is absolutely overwhelming. This may be the Glenlivet 12 to Bushmill's Black Bush's Glenmorangie The Original, but that is probabaly a bit generous.
