I think of a farmers place in the smell of this one. Hay and animals. Pleasant but not something I would think of drinking at first. However, because of the taste and finish, I now relate this smell to something sweet and drinkable.

Comment:
After giving this a few tries, I got accustomed to the "farm" smell and have found the really sweet side of it. It's really easy to drink, and I have to watch myself because I constantly want more.
It's a really great whiskey for people that have a sweet tooth. I've tasted nothing like it thus far.

Crème brulee, a burst of citrus and the signature nuttiness and green leafiness of Auchentoshan.
Taste:
Smooth and sweet with hints of tangerine and lime.
Finish:
Gingery and slightly drying, with a pleasant lingering nuttiness.
