inviting and warm. this scotch is smooth and gentle yet a little too mild and simple for me. The nose is pleasant, it is sweet and medium-heavy, with a honey aroma and hints of spice. there are sherry and sultana tones along with subtle grape and vanilla flavours. it is a little un matured and there is a definite raw alcohol burn - which quickly disappears with the addition of a few drops of water. the palate is similar with no hidden surprises, it is simple and a bit predictable. there are strong honey and pear notes with slight date and dried fruit scents. the development is well balanced with slight oak and smoke notes and a slight raw alcohol burn. overall this scotch is well balanced and well crafted, it is smooth and gentle yet predictable and un exciting. the word that comes to mind is, safe. it is pleasant tasting and makes a good every day drink (watch you don't get bored) or a good go to drink. there are better malts out there for the same or similar price but for beginners or someone looking for a safe and easy drink then this does the job.
