A rubik's cube. That was my first thought when sampling this whisky. It's perplexing and a little overwhelming. In fact, I wasn't actually sure whether I liked it or hated it. If this was J&A Mitchell's intentions... bravo! They had successfully created something that would leave me pondering for some time to come. The notes of subtle peat, smoke and salt felt familiar, but the rest simply didn't. There were notes of chocolate, earth and perhaps raspberries, but more importantly, there were major notes of WTF. It actually took a second occasion for me to realise the absolutely genius to this whisky, particularly on the palate and finish, because the nose is this expression's weaker point. Still... bravo.
