Tasting Notes
"An inviting nose presents with a moderate smoke, mossy peat, red fruits, and some smoky bacon. The whisky is medium full in the mouth with tangy, cherry jam, and a grassy peat smoke enveloping your palate. The finish is bittersweet and peat focused, but it's a bit short-lived. However, it's a pleasure to go back to for those savory/sweet/smoke flavors. "
