Style - Neat in Norlan
Nose - Peaty with a good amount of ethanol. Slight hints of caramel apple.
Taste - The alcohol and smoke flavors swap here, with some heat to start mellowing out into smoky notes. Spiced sweetness near the front of the sip.
Finish - A light burn stays near the back of my mouth after the sip and takes awhile to migrate to my throat.
Score - 3.25
Scoring Legend
5.0 - Near perfect, there is something truly special about this whisky.
4.5 - Amazing, will always try to keep a bottle of this in my collection (if feasible).
4.0 - Very Good, maybe only one minor nitpick about the whisky keeping it here.
3.5 - Good, quite enjoyable to drink.
3.0 - Solid, wouldn't go out of my way to get it.
2.5 - Meh, still drinkable.
Under 2.5 - If you have a bottle of this, start cooking with it instead.
