This is a classic for me. It’s one of the whiskies that first got me interested in whisky. There’s a subtle sweetness on the nose like the caramelized portion of a honey baked ham. This sweetness is hidden underneath a pleasant rubber note along with an earthy peat. The palate starts off sweet like strawberries and cream. This evolves into rubber, iodine, and charcoal. The finish is reminiscent of a campfire at the beach.
