Here is my last budget/standard blended scotch review, at least for a little while. Let’s see how it goes. The nose is sweet with some nice orange marmalade, slight floral note, vanilla and light oaky bitterness. The palate is sweet and fairly watery in texture with light vanilla icing, orange peel, and bitter oak. The finish is medium in length with lingering vanilla, hint of orange and bitter oak. I really like the sweet caramelized orange note I get on the nose, but the rest of it is a little bitter underwhelming. I guess I wasn’t expecting a lot from this bottom shelfer. I guess I was more impressed with a few others in the same price range.
