The nose is bold and rich starting with grilled octopus with a squeeze of lemon juice and dash of sea salt then freshly paved asphalt, light diesel and chamomile tea followed by caramelized pears, dehydrated apricots and grilled pineapple that transitions to gauze bandages and popsicle sticks with low ethanol burn. The taste is a medium to rich mouthfeel starting with grilled octopus with a squeeze of lemon juice and dash of sea salt then a mild pepper spice that slowly fades to freshly paved asphalt, light diesel, honeysuckle and chamomile tea followed by caramelized pears, dehydrated apricots and grilled pineapple that transitions to gauze bandages and popsicle sticks with medium ethanol burn. The finish is medium length with tangy barbecued short ribs, gooseberries, black pepper, gauze bandages and popsicle sticks. This is a big meaty dram that starts with grilled seafood that the richness is cut with sweet and sour citrus and mild salt along with earthy minerality, diesel and mild floral notes that all work in balance to create a beautifully composed whisky that drinks far lower than its proof. Thanks so much @PBMichiganWolverine for sharing this one.
