    Color
    Pale amber
    Nose
    A very strong nose. Floral, butter.
    Body
    Smooth and easy
    Palate
    Slightly sweet, exceptionally easy to drink.
    Finish
    A little short on the finish

    In my opinion an excellent whisky considering the reasonable price. This is my second choice of single malt after Glenmorangie.

    Color
    Very Pale Gold
    Nose
    Oak, Peat smoke but very astringent to the nose. Quite floral.
    Body
    Medium body, light
    Palate
    Reminds me of a blended whisky EDIT: a very good blended whisky at that.
    Finish
    Long finish, warm, but quite flat and boring. EDIT: Not flat... but balanced. Not boring, just not as interesting and alternating in taste.

    Boring whisky - worse than anything I've tried yet. Lacks character and balance. The only thing that this whisky has going for it is the floral notes when one sniffs at it for the first time. I would rather have a blended whisky for 1/2 the price. EDIT: This is actually quite a nice whisky ... I prematurely gave it a 51. But after comparing it side by side to Glenlivet 12 and Glenfiddich 12 ... it seems a better whisky ... perhaps by a very fine line. The floral aroma dominates this whisky, yet the taste seems balanced, but not interesting.
