The latest in Chivas Bros. no age statement (NAS) variant of their malts and while the nose here does have Longmorn's fruity elements, they are discreet. This is also the case on the palate, where what is usually thick, elegant, and fruity has had its volume turned down.
Plenty of creamy vanilla. White marshmallows drizzled with salted caramel sauce, topped with that granola. The initial sweetness turns salty and slightly green and sappy.
