Tastes

Rich, perfect balance between smoke and spice. Spice is subtle and deep, and smoke is more smoke than peak. This scotch might be perfect. So smooth the burn is minimal. It lingers forever. It's a five.

Toffee on the nose and also on the palate, some deep peat smoke underneath that gives it that scotch taste. Rich and oily texture, the spice comes from black pepper and it's a little bit too high-proof so it has a lot of burn, but the richness makes it okay. Needs just a tiny bit of water to cut the burn. Still very nice, love the balance between spice and sweet.
