A young, delicious blended malt!

Nose

equally fruity (green apples, pears), sweetness, slightly alcoholic note;

Taste

soft, mild approach, fruity (like Obstler), malt, sweetness, hint of vanilla, but clear (slightly alcoholic) youth;

Finish

short finish, some oak in the aftertaste;

Not exciting, but a decent value for money. If it's on sale, though, I might pay the extra $8 and get an age statement and a bit more finesse with Glenmorangie Original. ...I do appreciate that in the U.S. we get the extra 3% abv.

Nose

Green apples, Vanilla, a little marshmallow, some solvent notes, some vestigial baking spices

Taste

Vanilla, unripe apple

Finish

Is there a faint hint of peat? Maybe just my imagination.

Water is not needed.

Nose

Ripe, very sweet and long. Toasted/polished oak.

Taste

Still sweet: a soft start, vanilla custard, a hint of dried fruit, baked banana, cinnamon, vanilla.

Finish

Drier, Seville oranges, a touch of liquorice.
