Great taste. Very pleased.
 
William
William,
Very simple but lovely drink, but not a huge amount to offer. Good entry point for new drinkers.
 
Bob
Bob,
Taste a hint of oak
 
Christian
Christian,
Easy to drink? Yes. Very straight though and not too complex for me. Colour and smell don´t really drag me into it as well ... Smooth finish.
 
Jeremy
Jeremy,
Forwardly salty with some subtle flavors of oak, sour apple, floral herbs. Sweet aftertaste of vanilla, peaches and butter honey. Lovely. Not my favorite but a good dram at the price
 
Mark
Mark,
Nice light smoke, smooth finish and easy to drink
 
Angel
Angel,
Sweet berried baking spice with a cereal cap. I found the finish to be thin with a hint of vanilla ice cream. Not overly complex and is the reason I will keep coming for more. A 10 yr not to be trifled with.

Smoke and vanilla, dry nice finish!!

Greg,
Nice smoke in the nose. Vanilla and fruit up front with smoke quickly following and a dry oak finish. Not complex, has some heat. Enjoy a tasty campfire in your mouth! Price point is high. Shop around.
 
Allen
Allen,
Remarkably balanced - and I say that in the best possible spirit. Slightly oily/creamy mouthfeel; sweet on the front, savoury on the back. Medium finish and mild heat - nothing overwhelming. Really benefits from judgement over time: let it sit for a bit and sip slowly.
 
Toni
Toni,
Very smooth and had a nice finish. My husband liked it better than his current brand.
 
Loren
Loren,
First scotch purchase, and was not disappointed. Smoother than expected and the taste was great.
 
Lucas
Lucas,
Incredibly smooth. Apple flavor with hints of smoke really make for a great single malt.
