If you are looking for a voyage you're in luck. This whisky promises you bonfire and smoke on the beach, then takes you on a trip in a land full of fruity and sweet flavors to finally keep its promise and land you by the seaside, by the fire. Everything is done in a smooth, light and delicate style.
Aspect: color: white wine
Clarity: clear
Viscosity: nice clear buds that transform in long, spaced out, slowly descending tears giving this whisky an appealing oily aspect.
Nose: peat, pear, brine, wood, flowers
Taste: nice arrival, not too strong, it rather pampers you, oily texture, honey, sweet wood, pear, malt and peat on the background growing stronger (but not overwhelmingly strong) as it develops on your palate.
Finish: medium - long, peated, oily. This is where this whisky comes full circle, where you have the whole image after a gustatory voyage into the realm of sweetness and honey
Body: smooth, light
