Nose- Smoke and freshly tanned leather is pervasive with a bit of brine. Body- Smoked brisket fades into tannins of a thick breakfast tea and tobacco.The end is both sweet and peppery. Finish- Long and lingering! This stays with you for a long while. The sweetness and the spice stay with you. There is also a bit of saltiness in the mouthfeel. Note- The legs in this are some of the longest I have seen on a scotch. The outline hangs on the glass for minutes before falling. This is by far one of the richest scotches in my collection, but I really like it as an evening sipper! It was brought to me as a souvenir from Sherri's trip to PA. Cheers Ron Swanson! I get it! Note- I have reposted this and decided to raise to five stars. This whiskey has changed the way I look at peaty scotches. It crawls up inside of you, kneads around and goes to sleep like a house cat curling up on the couch. It’s finish is like a positive thought that you think back on and smile. I look forward to the future smiles.
