Straw yellow color with some sticky legs. The nose is red Apple skins and pear. Just a hint of tobacco. It's mostly fruit rinds and vanilla. The nose is firmly in the Scotch tradition. With a droplet some boiled vegetable sulphurics pop out.
The Apple skins and pear continue into the front of the palate. Has a very sweet, puckery second moment, like the syrup from an apple pie. Touch of leather. The burn is there but really dovetails nicely with some cigar tobacco. There is a fruity pucker that keeps coming back.
The finish is more tobacco, with a touch of smoke that tastes like a match that just went out. All those fruity parts evaporate and leave some smoke behind. This is a deceptively complex Scotch clone, I'll be back to it.
