Tastes

Mild peat on the nose with some sweet fruit notes as well. The palate is canned peaches, orange blossom, peatsmoke, and oak. Just a hint if spearmint. The finish is long and of ash and leather.

On the nose its very bright, like lemon curd or orange vanilla. The palate is very light with notes of caramel malt and lemon sherbet and btter orange peel. The finish is very short with notes of oak and black pepper.

Nose of apricot, plum, and creme brûlée. Walnut, apricot, oak, vanilla, almond, and baking spices on the palate followed by a lengthy finish of tobacco leaf and sweet hickory that lingers on the tongue.

First thing I noticed was that this whiskey is very very light in color. Almost clear but a hit of yellow. The nose is of toasted oak and charcoal. On the palate I get at first vanilla, chocolate, coconut and cherry that then gives way to tobacco leaf, oak, cigar, campfire smoke and bitter ash. The name heavy vapors is appropriate, not for the vapors that come off the whiskey in the glass, but more the feeling you get from exhaling after a sip.
