Nose is more spiritous than I'd expect, odd.

 

Palate is actually kind of nice. Not special, but decently sweet with apples, pears, canteloupe, honeydew. Finishes pleasantly with some sprity alcoholy stuff, and enough that at length it gets a little annoying.

 

Good enough whisky.  And for thirty bucks it's a good buy. I'd prefer it over the standard 12yo. C+/B-
