Tastes

A very dynamic whiskey. The nose is a heavy campfire peat mixed with vanilla. The taste starts out with the classic peaty medicinal flavors, then dramatically shifts to sweet fruit notes, with some darker notes like toffee on the finish. The light taste of peat lingers for a very long time afterwords. Worth the price I would say.

Incredible in an old fashioned. Simply the best I’ve had. The spiciness works so well. I would recommend using angostura and Demerara + an orange peel. Don’t cut with any water. Avoid processed sugar, muddled cherries, sweeter bitters, or anything else that adds too much sweetness, and instead let the spiciness drive. It’s really something special. Unfortunately, I now have trouble enjoying old fashioneds made with other whiskies.
