A cold Friday evening finds me finally getting some time to sample this whisky provide by @Generously_Paul Threw on Portlandia from the DVR (even catching up on tv shows, let alone my samples). Subtle peat and maritime brine/seaweed are introduction to this dram. As you work the nose, a touch of iodine comes through with the fruits: apples, lightly toasted coconut, pineapples. Throw some vanilla cream to top it off. The whisky arrives on a thin, weightless and silky body but delivers a spectrum of flavors. Smoked bacon or jerky, white sugar sweetness, butterscotch and fresh ginger root. At the tail end, a flash of banana pops in and immediately out. You can feel the transition from sweet to zing very linearly: point A to point B. What remains is charcoal and earthy. Black pepper that fades to bitter dark chocolate and oak. The soul is left quite warmed. From start to finish this whisky delivers rich, bright and full aromas and flavors. If this whisky could be improved it would be to lengthen the finish. A quality whisky that is unfortunately not readily available (at least near me). [90/100][Tasted:2/9/18]
