Very easy & pleasant to drink, a good warm-up bottle

Nose

Sweet fresh fruits, creamy, vanilla, slightly grassy, a very easy & pleasant nose, nothing complex nor overwhelming

Body

Fresh summer fruits, orchards, not as sweet as I expect

Finish

A finish as expected from a 40% whisky, relatively flat and short
