Nose: floral honey, hint of maple, trace of smoke, some faint grape Palate: honey, vanilla custard, light smoke, some charcoal, and that faint grape again Finish: honey, light smoke, vanilla custard, some floral notes, trace of charcoal Another great scotch that never disappoints. An easy sipper, smooth as glass, and a great introduction for folks who are wanting an introduction to smokier flavors (mild smoke. It’s a stepping stone to the Islay beasts).
