This nose has a ton of briny salt right out of the gate. There is some pie crust with some faint citrus as well. Unfortunately, I can tell from the nose it's going to be a bit one-dimensional for my taste, but let's see. I am an equal opportunity drammer, I guess. The palate has a nice mouth coat of more sea shore maritime loveliness, but it's missing some counteractive agent of peat, or more smoke, or something. This finish is medium with peanut brittle, and I get some vanilla in there, but I still feel like I am missing something. Not short-changed, but you know what I mean. I would love to try the older expressions to see how this entry level matures, at least. This one is "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Beatles. Like the (psuedo) one dimensional experience, the music/melody is Indian influenced, which dances around one chord throughout. Thanks for the sample Scott!
