Color: Initially amber, then when mixed with ice and when the water mixes with the non-chill filtered concoction, it just becomes a light honey colour
Nose: It smells like maple syrup, very sweet aroma
Body: It is heavy, with a syrupy texture, well balanced whisky which doesn't bite.
Palate: A very slight hint of peat, with a large gush of honey explosion inter-twined with subtle hints of smoke.....and then a release of sweet cedar aromas in your mouth
Finish: Fantastic lasting finish, that leaves a smoky peaty finish at the back of the tongue. The sweetness lingers on the edges of the back edges of your tongue.

It has the aromas of the balvenie, the colour of the macallan, the subtlety of the bunnahabhain, the finish of the auchentoshan, the taste of the aberlour.....taking only the best bits, a well balanced whisky, a winner. One for companionship, and to share with your best mates.

Fruity, Oak, Sweet and Floral. This is a perfectly balanced whisky in my opinion. Great to sniff and smooth and oily to drink.
