This tastes like a blend of highland scotch (perhaps Talisker?) and Redbreast or Green Spot. Light peat gives way to sherry and pears. It's easy to drink with a dry finish at a reasonable price point.

Tried this at a whisky event. It has a pleasant sweet and sour green apple flavor. Nice to enjoy outdoors during a barbecue.
