The nose is super mild with no really distinct notes. There are times of peat, grass, and salt, but that's about it. It's disappointing how much it smells like nothing. The palate is mild with an unpleasant undertones of something just plain gross like Clan MacGregor and a bitter alcohol presence. There's something a bit sweet and floral with vanilla and something a bit tart that might be fruity up front and there are grassy, salty, and mildly malty flavors throughout, but the dominant flavors are bad and no substantial complexity emerges. It's certainly nowhere near the level of Springbank 10. It's way too bitter in an industrial way. This tastes like scotch made for industrial application. It smells like a whole lot of industrial nothing and it tastes just the same. It's positively repulsive with bitterness and generic sweetness being the dominant flavors, almost like they are just mixed with a drop of scotch extract. It's sweet and slightly organically bitter in his the wrong way. Clan MacGregor has its problems, but this is a clear step (or several) below that.
