Tasting Notes

"The whisky has a light golden color. Naturally the peat is the first thing you notice upon opening the bottle. But after a few minutes in a glass other aromas come through like mint, sweet malt, and mossy/grassy notes. Tasting without water is difficult, but possible if that is your preference. But you're bound to miss out on the nuances of the whisky if you don't add water. With water you'll find a little lemon zest on the nose and the whisky becomes more manageable on your palate. Still, the barrel spices--particularly cinnamon--shine. The sweet malt helps to tame the heat a little and the peat is present at all times. "
