Other reviews... The taste is sweet and sour, with a pleasant tartness. On the palate there are creamy, berry-like, delicate peat. I would describe it as soft and silky. Reminded me of the smoky Benriach 12. The aftertaste is very pleasant, fresh, with a light taste of tobacco leaf and white currant. - whiskybase.com
