The beginning is a bit light but transitions into some familiar scotch flavors. I pick up on some moderate peat as well as as some other wood smoke notes. I pick up on some char maybe from the barrel or the pear smoking. There’s some lime and hay in the beginning but there’s some sweeter cherry notes In there. It’s a bit underwhelming, but it’s not a bad whiskey. I enjoyed this one a lot as I don’t find a lot of peated American stuff. Neat has a lot more robust flavors, addition of water or ice highly diluted flavor so I’d recommend drinking neat or chilled
