Nose: Dried fruits and floral notes rise very smoothly. A bit too delicate for me but still, a good nose. Delicate smoke along with toffee. Not the best part but I ain't complaining either. Taste: The palate is very rich and creamy. Offering oranges, toffee and honey, along with lingering oak. There's some sharp, yet subtle smoke lurking on the back. That smoke follows you in the finish as well, coming from the depths. Finish: Round and spicy with a great long finish. Rich finish, that you could chew on forever. Honey and peat make the main attraction. Then there's that deep smoke raising steadily from the background. Salty smoke with licorice, feels like salmiac (Finnish national treat).
