Tasting Notes
"Ripe banana and a healthy dose of peat appear on the nose with the smoke settling into a crispiness that is packed with orchard fruits seasoned with grassy grains. A slight vegetal note adds further character and complexity. The whisky hits the mouth with a crunchy nuttiness, clove and mild oak tannins that tug at the peated malt. The grassiness puts on the breaks in the finish replaced by citrus slamming down the gas and smoking the tires."
