Smell is pretty light a hint of fruity note not unpleasant but not great either. No burn at all, but also no taste at all. A hint of sweet, maybe fruit like pear, vanilla Definitely have some of the flavor of a typical Speyside but 10 times less strong. It probably a really young whisky . Everything disappear almost immediately the finish disappear so fast that is hard to distinguish the flavor except for perhaps vanilla and butterscotch that lingered It's drinkable and for the price I can see why some enjoy, but I probably wont buy anymore. Even ballantines that around 25$ cad in my area at regular price is more complexe and a better choice neat or as a mix.
