This is slap-your-momma good. A complex nose loaded with smoke and soot, sea salt and brine, maple sweetness, savory bacon. On the palate, this smoke is tamer than you might expect - it's very present, but it's a much more moderate kind of peatiness. Add in with that some salt spray, a maple sweetness, hints of dried apricot, a little nuttiness, and a savory, almost meaty note, and some fresh cracked pepper, and you have a winner. This one really is a fine example of how cask finishing can add extra levels of beauty and complexity to a whisky. Just bloody delightful.
