"Just opening up the bottle, let alone pouring and taking a sip, you'll get a campfire aroma wafting in the air. Cigar ash and medicinal camphor comes into play, but you will find other notes such as lemon zest, pears, and a smidgen of honey. The whisky is oily and reminds you of smoked mackerel, but there is also a sweet spot of dark chocolate on the mid-palate. All of this is to say, please, if you haven't already, dive head first into this dram. We live once. "
