Tasting Notes
"A scent of roasted honey nuts and berry fruit smoke great you on the nose. The flavors display hearty toasted malt along with a vegetal smoke and smoldering ash. There's a mild sweetness with a hint of spice (brown sugar, ginger) in the center. The finish is dry with a moderate vegetal peat smoke finish. While the whisky can be consumed neat, try it with a splash of water to allow the fruitier notes to shine."
