Nose - Ultra lightly peated sweet funk, black pepper, honey, smoky fruity medicinal sweet Taste - Sweet light smoke, black pepper, funky goji berry sweet, baked apples Finish - Lingering light salty smoke, funky fruity sweet, light lingering warmth Score - 76/100 Final Thoughts - So upon first nosing this, it reminded me of Highland Park 12 with less smoke. This one has a very very gentle smoke component and just a hint of salt with this sweet funky fruit that reminds me quite a bit of HP12. It's not bad by any means as the smoke is very subtle but for me the sweet funky fruit throws me off a bit. Maybe others will like this, but it's just not for me. It's pretty well balanced but for a person who isn't a huge fan of peat, this goes in the "not really for me" category. Would I drink it if offered? - Maybe Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No
