Tastes

Great value - really enjoy this one. Licorice always stands out to me.

Peat and fruit with a little bit of funk, like a Jamaican rum.

Tastes like a mature green apple Jolly Rancher. I keep expecting to pick out peat in this, but I don't ever find it. Update: coming back to this after having American whiskies almost exclusively for the last several months, I'm now picking up a smidge of peat, more on the nose than palate. Apple still there, orange, and milk chocolate on the nose. The palate is full of honey, apple, light sweetness.

This was my gateway to peat, and for that it holds a special place. Revisiting a year since my last taste, I still enjoy it but I can see how my palate has changed, or it's not quite as good since the rebrand as others have suggested. Also, I'm not a fan of the kitschy marketing, a little over-the-top I think.
