The smoke on the nose is not aggressive, but depending on what you’ve been acclimated to it’s either dominant with hints of cinnamon and salt or a nice compliment to green apples that once you find you can’t unfind. The nose makes me think this is what a peated Green Spot would smell like which, for me, sounds perfect. The taste is more subtle than the nose but the same flavors, which makes me wonder how good this would be at a higher proof. It’s good but I think I still prefer Green Spot even though I’m a peat head.
