Nose: sweet, lemon zest, maybe a spice cake, and then a gentle whisp of smoke. After it rests a nice floral note arrives almost rose or peony like Sip: mid palate seems like where it lands with barrel char, that lemon zest is present, but the smoke to me is gone Finish: oily mouth feel, that sweet barrel char all sitting square in the middlemof my tongue. It is fairly short with the exception of bitter that seems to want to hang out Overall i would have this as a scotch and soda all day. Not so much of a sipper except maybe on the rocks Cheers everyone
