Tasting Notes
"This is an oddly vegetal whisky with a very heavy, almost chewy weight. There's a prominent saline quality in both the nose and palate, with pine forest earthiness, soy sauce and touches of smoked ham and pepper. A citrus and grassy element cuts some of the earthy richness. Super funky, but not unenjoyable. You just have to be in the mood and like very briny whiskies. Try it with some oysters!"
