Colour is quite pale--watered-down apple juice-from-concentrate; nose is a bit of a Bruichladdich-esque popcorn butter, some gingerbread and molasses, salinity and seaweed. Fresh apple skins (mostly green apples), lemon, and slight strawberry. Wine Gums and a bit of mint (spearmint?). Taste is coastal and fruity--candied lemons, saltwater, pepper and chili. A bit of sourness--like sour fruits. Something indistinctly floral. Oily, waxy texture. Some dry wood. Finish is short and dominated by lemon, green apples, floral notes, and not super-well-integrated wood. Not a bad whisky, nor is it a great whisky. It'll do on this cold evening.
