Tastes

Much better this time around

As a whiskey beginner, this one is bizarre. A majorly distinctive nose, oozing with the smell of the sea, salt, and earth. With the high % and this nose, I thought it would be a tough sip, but it's really not. Extremely smokey and earthy. One of my first ever scotch tastings and it's an interesting one. It tastes like a bonfire that is close to fully being extinguished. Most interesting whiskey I've ever had, but nowhere near my favorite.

The initial nose is exciting- vanilla, caramel, and brown sugar sweetness. The taste itself loses some of these exciting scents and definitely remains Jemmy. IPA not present for me, but still a nice, easy-going whiskey to sip away on. Much better neat than with ice. Great pairing with ginger ale and a lime wedge if you into it.

Smokey, woody, smooth.
