the more i drink the more i like it because you get huge complexity with this and its a very thick heavy substance, very heavy pepper2
thick brown sugar burnt caramel 2
this is actually quite a nice one to have for a bar variant but it might not be a everyday drink just an exploratory drink

- metallic, typical tennanese style of smell, floral grassy, mid-high sharpness peppery, like in the fields in the morning where its raw grass dewy smell, musky, vanilla 2
- this to me is the definition of "medicinal" and nothing like the Islay types of whisky, rock hard and raw, raw corn-like and you definitely taste the difference between this and a barley variant, very interesting flavour that hits different parts of your mouth. This gives you a sweeter inclination compared to barley single malts, but yet it doesn't seem as delicate and refine as the scottish 2
