When drinking, it delivers as expected with a concentrated, floury texture of citrus, and the balance between sweetness and acidity is good. It lacks complexity but has a very pleasant drinking experience. Although not mentioned, it feels different from the first-fill bourbon casks typically used by official bottlers. It has a distinct fruitiness and peatiness that is often found in Laphroaig matured in refill casks, which I have written about frequently.
