The initial nosing greeted me with campfire smoke, ash, sea spray, leather, sweet oak, band-aids, iodine and a mineral note. After 10 minutes in the glass aromas of nuts, apples, strawberries, caramel and vanilla emerge. At 20 minutes I picked up hints of lime, ginger, maple and chocolate. Yum! I could nose this whisky all day. There is a lot going on in the glass with many layers of unfolding scents and aromas. The arrival on the palate is marked with notes of honey, brine, caramel and apple. A burst of campfire smoke, ash, iodine, charred oak, leather and pepper quickly follows. The whisky is rich, buttery and full-bodied. The finish is quite long, initially heavy with smoke, ash, leather and charred oak. As the smoke subsides, the sweetness again peeks through with flavors of caramel, apples and strawberries. Nuts, dried dark fruit, vanilla, cinnamon and a mineral note come through on the back end of the finish. Absolutely delicious! I paid $85 at my local B&M, which is a great deal. I think I'll pick up another bottle or two before the sale ends.
