    Color
    Old Gold
    Nose
    Bit of smoke, bit of maritime, bit of orange zest.
    Body
    Full, complex and smooth - exceptionally complex - a little chewey/oily.
    Palate
    Chocolate covered orange, buttered popcorn, smooth and sweet.
    Finish
    Bite at the end, finish is long, this Scotch does leave an aftertaste - goes great with a Cigar.

    A fantastic Whisky - I would drink it every day if I could. It is hard to obtain in my area. It's complex so it may be tough for some to enjoy. Do not judge it by your first dram.

    Color
    Wheat in color - a touch darker
    Nose
    Nutty (Almonds, Walnuts), a whisp of smoke and a bit of dried fruit (oranges perhaps?)
    Body
    Very smooth and sweet - a little oily - not terribly stout, not terribly weak, a good balance.
    Palate
    Vanilla, toffee, coffee sugar and cream - some banana, all with a small bite.
    Finish
    Lightly warming finish, not very hot - maybe too easy to drink.

    A very satisfying Malt - very easy to enjoy. A great place to start for beginners. A staple for everyday drams. Never leaves one with a headache or other ills associated with cusumption of lesser drinks. I'm giving this one very high marks because it has mass appeal and is very unoffending.

    Color
    Very dark golden honey
    Nose
    Fruity, apricot, a tiny bit of phenolic.
    Body
    Warming, full, smooth - a little oily.
    Palate
    Very little peat if any, a touch of raspberry and other citrus.
    Finish
    Smooth again on the finish - finish is somewhat short.

    Very smooth - smooth neat - even smoother with a bit of water. if this Whisky lacks anything, it is complexity but it makes up for that in great taste - a great scotch for a beginner who wants move up to the next level. A great value.
