Nose - Gentle smoke, smoked lemon zest, earth/dirt, light pear, mineraly (w/ water) Much more vibrant, less smoky Taste - Salt, sweet cured meat, hint of minerals, earth, bright/vibrant mouthfeel, light pear & lemon zest (w/ water) Opens up a bit more but pretty much the same Finish - Trailing salty smoke, light savory vibe, lemon zest (w/ water) same Score - 83/100 Final Thoughts - This felt quite muted at first but really opened up with a bit of water. From the nose and palate, this felt like this was primarily an ex-bourbon maturation with either a cask or two of some light colored sweet wine finish (if that). Loads of salt with a hint of smoke and a nice savory cured meat punch that makes this feel like it'd be great dram to enjoy by a summer campfire by the lake. It was nice, but nothing special.
