Just from the nose I wouldn’t be able to pick out the smoke, mostly I get wood spice, a mild bourbon and maybe a few rye notes. But as soon as you taste it the smoke comes through. Not an overly meaty peat, but true to the name a campfire smoke. The upfront smoke gives way quickly to a high rye bourbon finish that doesn’t linger long either. If I were to try to introduce a bourbon lover to peaty whiskey, this is what I would choose. Easy to drink and an enjoyable journey through my favorite categories.
