Aroma - smoke, chocolate and floral notes dominate the nose. Not picking up much else.
Taste - follows the nose. A slight hint of black pepper mixed with vanilla towards the back of the palate.
Overall - very basic and straight forward. Not a fan to be honest bc thr price point is just too high for what you get. So many better whiskeys in this price range

This is rated so low because 50+ dollars for this is robbery. aside from that it wouldnt be so bad at a 30 dollar price point but there is little to nothing that great going on that would impress a scotch fan or actually any single malt fan in general. A deep dark malt note, a small dash if something adjacent to corn sweetness, mild nuttiness and some herbal, earthier notes closer to the end. The color is light and slightly oily but also thin. the finish is definitely earthy with peppery notes. there is no peaty notes, its closer to an earthy wood smoke. Another issue i come across is the new american oak barrels which i find to be slightly bland compared to a bourbon barrel or sherry cask finish in other malts. It comes off young and underdeveloped. if your looking for islay level smoke or a fruity and nutty highland then this is probably not in your best interests. meh :^(
Strong flavor, but a good whiskey. Better as you drink it. Nose is classic, malty, distillery funky smell. It tastes like an "experienced" whiskey. The 100% malt mash hits you in the freaking face, this ain't no boy's whiskey. It's smooth despite the heavy malt, but definitely not sweet, warm, or fruity. Fairly oily mouth feel, but as the tags will show, it's oak, harsh, and hot. Surprisingly good without ice though.
