I imagine this whiskey to be right at home in a stable, right by the feed. I imagine the stable hands sharing a dram and the days trials and triumphs together. Hay and mild smoke on the nose. The palate is creamy, cinnamon, and slightly tart, like lemon curd on a Biscoff biscuit. The finish is smooth with a growing chili heat and warming peat smoke. Adding a little water… The nose becomes more… medicinal? Like hay and lemons. The palate remains creamy and the lemon becomes more pronounced. Almost like peaches. The finish is still a warming peat.
