Nose: obviously the first you get is smoke! Followed by a lot more smoke. It’s like campfire smoke and once you get past that though you get slight vegetal notes and sea salt.
Once you get past that you actually delve into some fruity notes such as green apple and banana.
Palate: a gentle smoke caresses the inside of the mouth followed by that subtle fruitiness once the initial smoke flavour dissipates. A touch of banana is found at the very end. Don’t have much experience with smoky whiskies but I believe you get a tar note that sticks to the mouth. Finally left with a nice spicy finish of white pepper.
Finish: medium finish, the spice and smoke lasts for decent amount of time and isn’t harsh at all.
