I am continually annoyed when my tasting notes ride the app review's coattails. In this case my first big impression was candied orange and ginger. The peat is more of a sigh than a shout. Glazed ham, pepper, fennel, and spicy gingersnap cookies round out the flavor. The lingering note is the orange and spice. The whisky is not overly sweet, but is reminiscint of the rich, sweet food around Christmas time.
