Very pleasant peaty nose with a hint of citrus and maybe what I can only think of currently as varnish but in a good way. Taste is smooth and smoky that slowly builds a little spice and has some citrus and balance of an Islay scotch with a more traditional scotch taste. It’s builds some spice towards the end to leave you with a very nice lingering finish. I also like that its over 90 proof and feels right.
