Tasting Notes

"Prunes and walnuts open up the nose, along with stewed fruits, heather, and hay. An oily palate showcases the phenolic side of this whisky, with peat, burnt-rubber tires, ash, and campfire smoke leading off in front of peanut butter cookies, spicy oak, black pepper, and oatmeal. More peppery peat on the finish, with dark chocolate covered raisins and syrupy fruit cups."
