I appreciate that they bottled this at 46%, non-chill filtered, and no color added. It is a very nice unfinished scotch with what I would consider to be natural flavor. It is very good, but I prefer something with a hint of smoke. Nose: Vanilla, honey, ethanol, cereal, white wine Palate: Vanilla (gets creamier with water), cereal grain, honey, apple, dusty Finish: Medium, honey dust with ethanol on back end. Mouthfeel: This screams quality, it is quite viscous for the light flavor, almost creamy. Very nice!
