Smoky but not like you’re used to. It has little in common with its peaty Scottish cousins from Islay but if you like them this is an interesting change. Tastes like a barbecue. It's rich, tangy, and full of smoke. Oily mouth feel, full of character and unique. Has a notes of garlic and motor oil that are unlike anything I've found in anywhere else in whiskey. Under that there are touches of cinnamon, molasses, black pepper and red pepper. If you like barbecue and unusual whiskeys give this a try.
