N: Orchard fruit and dark berries - raspberry and blackberry. Something salty there too - not exactly sea spray, but similar idea that's hard to describe. Hint of some sour fruit too. Bit of cherry cough syrup, which is actually pleasant. Pretty solid.
P: Rich at first, but fades in the middle. Same flavors as above, plus maybe a cornbread sweetness like you'd expect from a bourbon - a bit odd in a single malt. Vanilla builds over time. Finish is clove and cinnamon spice, but watered down a bit by the wimpy middle mouthfeel.
Despite generally poor reviews, it's not bad. I wish it hung on in the middle a little longer as it's tough to call a scotch both watery and good, but this comes dang close. Hard to tell if "watery" is meant as a feature or a bug here, given the trout sigil on the bottle. (I have seen GOT, but definitely do not know enough to grasp the meaning of the family this bottle represents - some intended inside joke might be lacking a punchline in my brain.) I picked this up because it seemed like the only bottle not horribly overpriced in the shop I was at, and that seems about as good of a reason to try this as any other. Your mileage may vary.
