Nose - First impression is creamyness mixed with a light peated scent, you get essentially no burn allowing for an easy draw into the nose
Taste -H2O added- light and refreshing on the front with a subtle peat taste, it evolves flavor to a chocolate malt as it leaves the palate, more cream ensues
Finish - I definitely get the Guinness influence once I open my mouth to draw in a breath and let the flavor linger for a moment, the finish on this is quite long and much welcomed
Score -4.5, while easy on the nose, the back end of the palate and the finish are the standouts here. I know this won't be one I can easily find again, but I'll be on the lookout
