    Color
    dark amber
    Nose
    Musk, strong Oak, earthy.
    Body
    light bodied
    Palate
    peat, nutty.
    Finish
    lacking finish. Rather short, and boring.

    This is a very smooth whisky, but not fruity. It lacks finish, I was impressed by the smoothness, but quite disappointed at how much it had cost ~ $100 USD. It is worth trying for its smoothness and oak tones. I would still rate it highly.
