There is more happening here than in the Nikka Coffey Grain. This has the flavor of a Speyside Scotch and despite being mild does have some depth. The closest comparison would be Oban 14. The sweetness could be cut back a bit, particularly given the noticeable apples and strong floral flavors, but the bitter herbs help balance the experience. There is a fair amount of depth here that makes this a credible spirit, but in the price range, the Springbank 10 is better. I would be happy to drink this, but it isn't amazing. More of a finish would be nice.
