Limited Release, barrel # 18452. Peated Scotch finish.
100.4 proof.
If you've had High West Campfire, this feels like campfire light. A mix between the sweet notes of double rye and the smokey peaty notes of a generic Islay scotch.
The nose is light sweet rye notes with hints of mint; no peat is present. The palate and finish are where the peat comes forward. The taste is a light, sweet rye with a hint of vanilla followed by a peaty smokiness that is close to campfire smoke. The smoke lingers well after the taste and is a bit drying. Not bad if in the right mood like a fall evening.
