*Score* 88 *Color* Amber. *Nose* An deceivingly lackluster aroma. Smoky peat, somewhat muted by honey or toffee. A slight alcohol burn. *Palate* Crisp with subtle oil. *Finish* Smooth peat with a wee bit of smoke. Not overpowering. Lingers long enough to leave you wanting more. *Notes* It tastes much better than it smells. The initial smoke gives way to a smoky peat. A few drops softens the slight burn, and opens the door to more flavors though none are overly robust and the dram on the whole is not too complex. I also picked up on some caramel with extra salt. This would be a great introductory scotch for someone who’s new to the peat scene.
