Tasting Notes
"Though the peat smoke is certainly detectable on the nose and palate, it adds a forest campfire-like backdrop to aromas and flavors of sweet vanilla marshmallow, dark chocolate, roasted almond, orange blossom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cherry blossom. The overall effect of this medium weight whisky reminds of cinnamon graham crackers, marshmallow fluff, and bittersweet cocoa—yes, freshly campfire charred s'mores! A hint of pine, cherry wood, seaweed brine, and pipe tobacco add additional layers of pleasant piquancy with a lingering, light to medium smoky finish. "
