"Pour les amateurs de douceur, voici un whisky au caractère tendre, dû au peu de tourbe utilisée dans le maltage. Sa droiture, sa race et sa grande allonge en font un Scotch extraordinaire."
Straightforwardness? Clarity? I'm not sure.

forthrightness/forthright flavor
Just adding another possibility--a forthright suggestion. ;-)
Personally, this idea of identifying the flavors in wine with attributes borrowed from all over the map leaves me cold. But forthrightness I can almost swallow (and I do like to swallow wine--and to enjoy its variations and subtleties)
I just ran some Google searches for assorted terms offered, and don't come up with a tremendous number for any of them, including mine: hits range from 14 to 35. What is clear, though, is that when mentioning such qualities in wine, "flavor" is much preferred over "taste."
