Nose is cooked apples, malt funk, and peaty iodine. Taste is of peat smoke and white sugar sweetness that balances it out. There's also pears and chestnuts baked in brown sugar and condensed milk. It's desserty, it's delicious, it's highland with aspirations of Islay. I didn't expect much but it's shockingly good.

In flavor, I think it’s more close to Islay than Highland single malt, or more like a combination of peaty and fruity whiskies

Worth a bottle, a bit harsh on the nose and front palate, smoother toward the back palate. Appropriate with water or a hipster cube of ice.

Dried fruits and malty sweetness
