Tasting Notes
"The nose is a mix of earthy peat, menthol, and tar. The smoke factor is of moderate intensity, but there's still sweet barley to be found along with a hint of lemon peel. On the palate, the whisky is of average body and at this proof, the whisky is crisp and spicy (think cinnamon sticks). There's an oaky finish of decent length. Splash of water brings out more herbal and mossy aromatics and naturally softens the dram just a bit. Give both experiences a try. "
