Tastes like you w gone for a swim then had a barbecue. Perfect whiskey

Nose: Earthy with winey notes similar to a sauvignon blanc. There are also components of beeswax and pear. Taste: Honeydew, peaches, lemon peel, and sweet oatmeal are present initially. The mid-palate yields a bit of spicy cinnamon and some bitter oak along with a hint of spearmint. There is a mild but complex musty note of peat present as well. The finish is very briny with a mild floral spice note, and it brings a large amount of the components from the entire profile together. Notes: The transition from the initial profile to the mid-palate is a bit dramatic, but the fact that the finish marries these two profiles together makes this a positive for me. There is a large amount of complexity present here with no component taking over. This bottle is great. I do worry that the price will get out of hand very soon though, and it already has many places.

Color yellow Nose Very sweet and fresh fruit Brown sugar, green apple Honey Palette A bit bitter, Soft Finish Oaky

Smoky, floral, spice, salty (especially the after taste)

Bold. A really smooth peat tone. It’s just really solid scotch.
