Tastes

Delicately balanced. Orange peel on the nose with a soft caramel backing. Fruit sweetness with a quick hit of rye spice immediately following. Quite pleasant.

Spice up front, herbal forest notes. Strong baking spice and a backing of bitter smoke

Beautiful rich golden straw color. Medium smoke on the nose, with a strong backbone of sea brine and a hint of warm heather. The palate opens with a smooth, moderately oily mouthfeel and a rich forward note of camphor and peat; not overly harsh, but very prominent. This gives way to more subtle aromas and flavors of warm caramel and a faint hint of oaked vanilla. There are many other layers in this gorgeous expression, however I have noticed that they are continually different depending on the ambient temperature when the spirit is enjoyed.

Wonderfully balanced peat smoke with a strong backing of sea brine. The two main flavors play off each other beautifully, setting an elegant stage for the floral and caramel flavors that build as the initial flavors fade. A medium long finish with a wonderful smooth, mildly oily mouthfeel

Heavy peat smoke on the nose, gives way to subtle sweetness, like the dwindling aftertaste of an Amish caramel. Palate is oily and rich. Full-bodied peat initially gives way to floral sweetness and a mild hint of nuttiness. Very very enjoyable experience.

Not great but not unpalatable for $12. Better to stick with bottle and bond for a few bucks more. Lingering varnish aftertaste

Warm vanilla/caramel blend on the nose with a hint of dusty old leather. Hints of peat and ocean air also fill the glass. Mouthfeel is neither overly thin nor overly full, and not thick/oily. Initial taste of warm nuts, but not bright or harsh just. oharsh nuts

Warm vanilla and light oak. Very balanced and clean with a gentle mouthfeel.
