Look: Light, slightly orange with minimal lacing Nose: initially, I’m hit with smoke, and saltwater. Couple more whiffs gives a little sweeter note, red apples and honey. Swirling gave me more alcohol burn and saltwater. After trying the glass, I added a little water and initially caught a smell similar to pipe tobacco. Taste: saltwater initially hits the tip of my tongue, followed by burnt logs from a campfire, intermingling with that apple honey sweetness. Swirling the whisky in my mouth gave me a flavor I’ve never experienced before that I can only imagine is a more intense charred wood note but almost maybe floral? This is the most complex whiskey I’ve experienced. Water made this complex dram a bit boring Finish: long lasting, the smoky burnt log flavor sticks with me for minutes after taking a sip. Relatively mild alcohol burn. Overall: my initial thoughts when smelling were that this isn’t that distinguishable from my other peated whisky experiences: smoke and briny notes with slight sweetness, then the nose shocked me with more fruit notes and the flavor was very complex. I am a fan of this scotch.
