Nosing: Light. Sweet honey, cereals with just a whiff of peat.

Taste: balanced. Sweet cereals with caramel and fudge notes.

Finish: Short with a touch of wood.

Comment: Clean and tidy whisky with no distinct characteristics. Although notorious by reputation, good value for money. Entry point whisky only.
