Nose: Medium-Heavy peat smoke with a strong fresh fruit (pear) note.
Taste: Medium on the peat flavors (following the nose) which was not dominating. Peat was followed by a dark roast coffee and earthy (malt, hay) notes. Further tasting revealed dark cocoa and sherry notes. The non-peat notes were pretty subtle, despite the non-dominating peat notes, which left me wanting more balance of flavors.
Finish: Again the peat is upfront with some bitterness, malt, and dried cherry notes. Not too spicy.
Tasted 1oz at a bar. Overall, a pleasant, easy drink which can be a good introduction to peated whisky. I couldn't find the fruit notes I found on the nose on the palate which was a bit disappointing.
