Feeling: campfire: the good kind. The kind you enjoy, the memories of family and fun. Good times. Nose: fresh and clean, but not light. Smoky but not over powering. Grassy. Briny like sitting on the beach when the waves are pounding. Palate: salt water, fresh and clean, smoky but not aggressive, slight vanilla, finish burnt toast like. A really great scotch, tastes and feels like a much higher priced scotch. Could price it at $70 and would still be worth it. (Please don’t price it at that) a good first peat scotch. Very high quality and has lots of flavor but won’t kill you. Slight numbing of the tongue due to being 48% abv. Get it.
