Tastes

Loved the idea, but felt like it didn't quite pull it off. That said, would have it again.

A delicious dram. Not as peaty as a typical Islay, but iodine was forward on this nose. Salt and pepper on the palate, moee burn on the finish than I expected, but still pleasant. Compared to Talisker Storm, this is less aggressive (and certainly less briny, though that is still present here), though perhaps with a more burning finish

Mouthfeel reminded me of Bunnahabain, a little thick. Was the mildest mukti-cask I have had, both on the nose and on the palate. Not a lot of lingering flavors. Overall very pleasant.

On the nose you will be reminded of a rickhouse: if you've ever toured one this will take you right back there. The palate and finish is not terribly complex but still satisfying, especially when considering the price point. Any "everyday bourbon" or "table bourbon" should be weighed against this, and will probably not fare well.

Repeated tastings indicate that this is delicious. Bursting with flavor, this is not delicate but provides a nice alternative when you want an explosion of flavor but aren't necessarily looking for that flavor to come from smoke. Floral notes among the advertised brine.
